What Has Aid Ever Done For Anyone?
YouTube video by SaveTheChildren What Has Aid Ever Done For Anyone?

For my foreign aid supporters out there, here's a great video produced by Save the Children UK a few years back. Aid! What is it good for? Absolutely nothing.....except for a few of these significant things. πŸ’ͺ

Analysis | Trump and Musk can’t seem to locate much evidence of fraud They keep justifying their bold moves as combating fraud, but they have been unable so far to point to much of anything that’s actually fraudulent.

πŸ₯± Just me over here waiting for the MOUNTAINS of fraud that we're supposed to see.....

Statement by the Board of Development Initiatives Poverty Research Ltd DI is an international development organisation putting data-driven decision-making at the heart of poverty eradication. We work on climate, crisis, gender inequality and more

Now development research institutions are closing down. DI focused on poverty research and provided data for project development. 😒

The center cannot hold. We must rebuild stronger and smarter. Partners not donors. πŸ’ͺ
