Some people prefer to help or support directly in the local community for people who need it; however, others prefer to give money to the national or private charities. Discuss both views and give your own opinions.

It is sometimes controversial in deciding whether donate

money

to local or national

authorities

such

as

charities

. In my humble opinion,

although

these two approaches both have negativities and drawbacks, donating to charity organizations may seem more reliable.

To begin

with, some individuals prefer to provide support or fund to the local community due to several reasons.

Firstly

, the process may be much easier than donating

money

to

charities

. For those living in rural or countryside, it is not convenient for them to make donations to certified organizations where are far away.

secondly

, some people do not feel safe sending

money

to

charities

due to a trust crisis,

for instance

, there has been news regard the corruption inside charity organizations of using the funds.

Therefore

, on account of negative information, individuals who would have donated

money

to these

authorities

changed their minds. Despite the fact that there is a misuse of aid funds in some private

charities

, it is not always the case.

For example

, in my country, the majority of foundations are run by national

charities

. On the one hand, they are strictly being supervised by

authorities

and the public. With the endorsement and supervision from the government, citizens should be less worried about fund security, it is considered even safer than donating to locals.

On the other hand

, in general, local communities are lack experience in utilizing vast amounts of funds to cope with local issues

such

as poverty and the disabled population. In comparison, certified

charities

could tackle issues more efficiently. To sum up, whether to make a contribution to local communities or

authorities

is depends on personal preference.

However

, I think that donating to government certificated institutions is considered a more efficient and safer way.
