Some people prefer to provide help or support directly to the local community. Others prefer to give money to national or international charitable organizations. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.

Today poverty is
Suggestion
Poverty today is
still on full display anywhere in the world, even from the sparkling and vibrant streets of Los Angeles, or to the less glamorous district of Mumbai city. In the fight against poverty, help is at hand.
However
, a bone of contention remains whether people should directly support the underprivileged or give their donations to charities.
This
essay will look at
this
issue from both perspectives. There are clearly justifications for why some funders would rather help the poor by themselves.
First
of all, help is given instantly as there is no paperwork, no collection, no delivery involved. It would
also
mean that no
money
is lost
into
Suggestion
in
the pockets of corrupt government officials.
Second
of all, it has been found that a considerable number of recipients of aid programs spend
money
on children’s education or
healthcare
Suggestion
health care
, rather than alcohol or cigarettes.
Therefore
, development can be easily promoted.
However
, the idea of giving cash directly to the poor is
also
treated with
skepticism
doubt about the truth of something
scepticism
by many people who
otherwise
suggest that
money
or any other type of donation should be given to charity organisations. Their main argument is that for the people whose lives have always been devoid of material possessions or
money
, knowing how to manage the financial aids is out of the question. There are many cases that poor people use the
money
to start businesses;
however
, bankruptcy is imminent due to their lack of knowledge regarding financial management. For
this
reason, charities, which can distribute the funds in a more effective way, prove their prominent roles in improving living standards of the impoverished. To conclude, I am inclined to think that giving
money
to charities is a better way to end poverty as it deals with deeper causes of the issue in the long run.
