World charities are big business these days and like all businesses, their aim is to stay in business. In a perfect world, their ultimate goal, their raison d’etre should be to rid the world of poverty, sickness and misery. But if they achieved this, they wouldn’t be in business any longer.
Solution: collect vast amounts of capital from developed nations, put in a token effort at helping the world’s poverty stricken that looks good for the cameras and skim off the excess capital into the pockets of employees. But like farmers, they’re careful not to harvest all the misery; they leave enough seeds there so that there will another crop for the future.
