Aid makes people LAZY! If we started dealing with our own problems (paying school fees for our children and paying for HEALTH Care as well) this would have KNOCKED SOME SENSE in THESE PEOPLE!!! Malawi is poor because its citizen are under the assumption that this world is PARADISE were you have a right to beg and have a litter of children, who should be someone responsibility!

A rough estimate from our beloved donors is that each person needs about MK30,000 invested in them every month to maintain their basic needs. Of course part of this 30k figure is made up intangible/non-cash things that individuals don’t directly invest in like decent health centres staffed with decent nurses, so it’s not like handing people 30k cash elevates them above Mangani’s poverty line. But why set the bar so low? The analogy of… Read more »
