CARE :: Defending Dignity. Fighting Poverty. - 0 views

shared by Aaron Scott on 27 May 07 - Cached

    CARE seems like it has some of Easterly's Planner tendencies in that it has some Big Goals
    (and celebrity faces on its homepage) but it seems that many of its methods are more those of searchers in that it gets involved with local families and communities to understand the problems they face and ways that they can help them.

Grameen - Banking for the poor - 0 views

  •  
    Grameen was one of the corporate entities that we read about in class.  Instead of using its capital gains to feed the upper managements' pockets, they redristribute the funds back into the peoples' coffers.  This is a REAL, CREATIVE solution to a poverty problem.

Structural Adjustment-a Major Cause of Poverty - Global Issues - 0 views

    • elligant35
       
      Poverty is a continous cycle because much of the money that is spent on exports sustains the ecomony of another country rather than the country who buys the goods. Having less imports and more exports creates a system of maintaining dependency and poverty or industrialized product-exporting/commodity-importing country is wealthy and an underdeveloped product-importing/ commodity-exporting country is poor. There is also shocking evidence of those individuals who work for the World Bank. This would definetly be good shocker for those that "Earn More" and "Eat Less".
