There are various ways we can help people in need. Big charity organizations commonly deliver food to hungry people, build homes for the homeless and provide help at local charity centres. However, there is a new way to help poor people living in distance, and that is by giving money to them directly.
Since 2012, the charity organization GiveDirectly has been studying the effects of direct money support to poor Kenyans (肯尼亚人). The charity gives them a one - year budget, spread over several months. They can spend the money on whatever they need, and they never have to pay back! When GiveDirectly tracked how the money was being used, they were glad to find that the Kenyans were using the money properly.
Many of the families spent the money on new metal roofs to take the place of their old grass roofs. While grass roofs need repairing several times a year, metal roofs last longer and save money. Some bought land and cows for farming or started small businesses such as buying a used motorcycle to transport people around like a taxi. This helped them to have more money for food, clothing and healthcare and give their children an education.
The studies on giving money directly to poor Kenyans are going on. Some people are worried that some of the families will waste the money or simply become dependent on these donations. Although it's hard to tell if it is a good idea to give them direct money support, we can all agree that it is correct to try to help others.
