Happy kids doesn't equal good aid. Are those footballs helping to improve the long term living conditions of those kids? If we have money and resources to help the developing world, assuming that actually is our goal, then shouldn't we strive to find interventions that actually have lasting impact?
- anothermachine 14y agoYou are pushing a bit hard there. What is point of having a lasting impact? So that people can can life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness Happy kids does not equal good aid? Really?
- rowanseymour 14y agoUh no. The goal of good aid/development is to help countries develop their economies, infrastructure and institutions so that people have access to education, healthcare and decent paying jobs... and are enabled to pursue their own ideas of happiness... rather than settle for a free football Handing out money to kids would make them happy too, but would also not be good aid
