Once you see how "poor Africa" or any cause is be monetised and donations suddenly accepted by companies then it will help you to see how the same people (often who caused it in the West) and the same governments and banks assisting those companies are the very same doing both 'good' and the bad.
They are the same in how far they will go to make money repeatedly for themselves....
Helping or freedom wasn't really seem historically there on the menu, unless it was to take on a bigger giant... and then kill each other after!,,, which today means financial strangulation / coercion / cornering them after said giants are dead and temporary agreements are done.
e haven't moved too much from this type of government program which moves on to force / pressure / exploit the next targets on the list (everyone).

To give water and have them as captured control points or give laptop to those that 'need' it with Gate's Windows on them; basically using whatever possible with pictures to show in whatever way what is 'possible' to help others... when at home it's also the same with money... the same self-ratified reasons apply from the few people with T-shirt there having little effect in the middle of nowhere to stop the same people taking advantage of them.
(you get the loop happening as hallmark of any expanding empire)
LiveAid style advertising and take a % from donation by the banks and only to put 1 single African performer.
Not saying it's all bad (err well that's what I should say) or that it's always measurable other than how much % they pay banks and themselves or say they need for infrastructure BUT all governments and banks with such track records of helping war or making $ out of aid should be assumed more to exploit or take advantage than actually aim for equalising or bringing people to their own country for *suddenly* non-profit reasons or to help people more than use this moment or transaction to help themselves first.
Just saying "it's the same people behind all the rackets" so don't try trusting banks and governments for a moment...
you're on the outskirts of the CUT-THROAT BUSINESS which is ultimately armed at that level...
Trusting something in our own hands will take time (i.e. from our own freedom and our own ways of allowing people everywhere to live with less economic pressures is what is really going to work)
Not even money mis-managed by the same global banks will have long-term effect. The reality I feel and track record / template of most colonial empires still having left their on places like India and asking people to pay English damage.
We're in a bad place but fixing everything almost from ground up is what is clear at least. Banks at a the source of feeding bad things...
For all those who think Banks don't pick and choose, go for profit, or provide money to one or more sides of war. or think they are not responsible and neutral- WHICH PLANET ARE YOU ON?
This is England baby... I mean Earth... :)
