Are charities part of the problem?

I don’t recommend a movie too often, but I would strongly suggest you watch one titled “Poverty, Inc“. I don’t want to spoil it for you, but let’s just say that the movie is both enlightening and confirming. It is available on some of the network-based streaming services.

Help offered to those in need should not destroy potential economies, or turn people into dependent beggars. It should enable them to be lifted up by their own effort, not chain them to their poverty.

Watch the movie. It will change your view of charity.
