subject: Humanitarian Workers Empower Poor Communities With The Work [print this page] All around the world there are people that are in need of help. Depending on others for their survival the needy people of earth are counting on support that comes from donation of time, money, food and medicine. In the news there are stories of pain and suffering in all parts of the map. From struggles in Africa with starvation and disease to the tragedies of monsoonal flooding and earthquakes in Asia and Eastern Europe that take life as they destroy homes and cities the humanitarian aid efforts of charitable organizations are changing the course of life for people that are in dire situations.
In certain lands the work of aid to the poor and indigent is providing educational resources as well as medicine and industry to villages where there has been nothing but poverty for generations. Finding the talents of the indigenous people are educating them on how they can begin to support their community and them self through selling and trading their crafts and improving the living conditions for those that live in the humblest of circumstances.
Through microloans that allow a village to buy sheep, goats or cattle the community is able to use the resources of the animal to provide for their daily needs. Milking a cow and selling the excess to neighboring villages a microloan allows on village to being farming and trading for what they need.
Throughout the world the work of humanitarian organizations is helping to improve living conditions and empower the local people to become self sufficient. Where many charities are in the habit of donating food and supplies to impoverished countries to lend a helping hand the efforts entitle the poor communities to stay dependent on their work for survival.
By contrast the villages that are learning to become self reliant through industry, work and trading have the best chance of coming out of poverty. The contributions that are making a difference in Africa, Asia, Central and South America are designed not just to meet the immediate needs of the world's impoverished people, but give them the tools and training to stand on their own feet.
When disaster strikes many people are willing to give what they can afford to provide relief to a devastated area (and that is commendable), but what works best for the individuals and communities that are hard hit be desperation and poverty is the help of humanitarian workers that are changing the dynamics of a village and using their funding to provide economic development through microloans that give people opportunity and hope as well as purpose for their existence.
