ACCESS
The cycle of dependency, largely perpetuated unintentionally through goodwill, has allowed longstanding issues of poverty, hunger, poor public health, and the like to become all the more rampant. Although we appreciate the efforts of several NGOs and relief agencies, we heed the words of the great African author Chinua Achebe: "The real solutions lies in a world in which charity will have become unnecessary." Handing out food may solve hunger briefly, but promoting land access through nonviolent change is much more helpful. (In other words, don't just build a school - allow the most vulnerable to have the opportunity of contextualized education.)
