To End Extreme Poverty, Give Cash — Not Advice | Rory Stewart | TED
Are traditional philanthropy efforts actually taking money from the poor? Former UK Member of Parliament Rory Stewart breaks down why many global development projects waste money on programs that don’t work.

Let me rant a little bit here, because don’t forget that 8 individual men have more wealth than over half the earths human population combined and that 6 of those men are American men. Also don’t forget that around 30.000 human beings unnecessarily starve to death every single day on this planet NOT due to any tangible lack of resources or means of feeding people – but due to a lack of this arbitrary man made abstraction called “money” which dictates whether human beings are allowed to be alive or not. And if you happen to have been born in places like South America, Asia or Africa just through biological and geological chance – you are then faced with the following choice: Submit to unpleasant and often times dangerous labor for 14 hours a day, 6 days a week in a loud, toxic sweat shop factory with suicide nets built on the sides of the building for wages that just about let’s you eat enough to survive and live in horrendously depressing housing conditions – or the alternative is to starve to death on the street. In the western world the fundamental choice is of course the same: work or starve to death on the street, but at least it’s usually around 8 hours a day 5 days a week you must submit to labor for income – if you want access to food and shelter. But the fact is clearly that the global socio-economic system AS SUCH and FUNDAMENTALLY and INHERENTLY is beyond ghastly and atrocious to any remote semblance of humanity or rational sensibility, so cherry picking that THIS particular politician or company is “mean” or “bad” but somehow maintaining the insane perspective that society in general is after all quite sane and acceptable; is just the most insane fucking thing to observe. The complete denial of most people about the world’s economic system; fundamentally being utterly horrific and amoral, destructive and repulsive – is just beyond comprehension, to say the least. “Let’s just do this little thing over here and then the world will become so much better because at least we’ve got the basics covered, there is just a little too much corruption but we can fix that and then the world will be great!” Yeah sure, cool story. Get back to me when you realize that THE SYSTEM IS FUNDAMENTALLY AND COMPLETELY FUCKED.

I know it maybe sad, but as a world for many years we have tried to help Africa etc with no joy… Where is Bob Geldof or others and save the world songs this year and last or year before etc.
We need to start putting money into our own countries. In the Uk we have elderly dying from cold during winters.
Why do many of these organisations support so called 3rd world, when we live in them ourselves. I walk around and feed homeless in my city.

The seeds and inputs that you supply them, which companies do they come from? Why not grow local varieties of seeds and ensure that farmers are independent?

The wisest thing that should be on every wise individual list is to invest in different stream of income that don’t depend on the government to bring money especially now that the economy isn’t stable.

I love how they actually support the families without making them feel incapable or helpless. They get control, they do the work and get to feel the satisfaction as their hard work comes to fruition. This kind of empowerment takes us a lot further than the usual BS that white privileged people do under the false pretense of “humanitarian activism” (e.g collecting donations for “poor african children” and posting self-validating instagram pictures). What an amazing idea🙏

Wouldn’t teaching them to make compost be better than providing them with fertilizer shipments? Both for the environment and future self-sustainability. This seems to be programming them for cultural dependence.
Thahn
April 19, 2021 at 5:17 pm
well we don’t know where all the weeds they are picking go and although they have good loose soil it is probably likely that they have problems with nutrient runoff which is why they said microdose of fertilizer probably just enough to not contribute to pollution
