Charity is one thing. But if you really want to help you'd get the people you're helping to a stage where they do not need charities, in other words, making systemic changes that will make people's lives better. Sure people have immediate needs and charity solves that, but if you don't champion for systemic changes ... Sometimes I feel like large scale charities are ways for people to look good and keep others oppressed, then apply for things like tax breaks. Not saying that it isn't helping, but with that much resources they could do solve the core problems, and I'm sure the individuals are in it to help, but maybe if they knew more about why people come to need charity in the first place, they would realize that the money could be put to better use and maybe many wouldn't get to the stage where they'll need charity. Poor nations/peoples are poor for a reason, and that reason is often because we are rich.
