Rich countries often give money to poorer countries,but it does not solve poverty. Thefore, developed countries should give other types of help to the poor countries rather than financial aid. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

It is true that affluent

countries

tend to offer

money

to the rather deprived ones to help abolish poverty.

While

financial aid may be a temporary fix, I believe that there are more optimal ways of ending

this

issue once and for all. There is a reason why developed

countries

rush to financially provide their worse-off neighbors: to lighten their loads. Usually, in developing

countries

supply and demand work far too disproportionately – there might be only one doctor per a hundred patients,

for example

.

This

means that, unless provided with enough medical workers – something only

money

can buy – the country’s already frail population is doomed. Clearly, no doctor in their right mind is willing to for free, especially in

countries

like Africa, where the living conditions are inadequate to say the least.

In other words

, there are simply some issues that cannot be tackled with anything but robust finances.

Money

is merely a temporary solution to what could be a mountain of problems. There are other – possibly more effective and sustainable – forms of aid; the most viable one is perhaps education. Poverty is a swirling vortex – once get sucked into it, it is almost impossible to get out of it.

This

means that if they are not taught to mitigate – or even better prevent – poverty, unfortunate

countries

stand no chance of fully recovering as a people. To that end, their wealthy allies should not simply give them

money

, but teach them how to use it, too.

For example

, sending experienced businessmen to tour in desperate

countries

can help raise financial awareness of the area, even more so when

such

tours are open to the public. Surely, the host country is ought to make the most of the presented opportunity rather than see it as a disgrace to their nation. In conclusion, rich

countries

are inclined to offer financial aid to the needy ones, and for good reason: developing

countries

can alleviate their existing problems thanks to it.

However

, in the same way a rich man does not catch a fish for the poor and

instead

teaches them to fish, so should affluent nations attempt to educate their deprived counterparts.
