The worst part of the global development journey, is that:
Humanity doesn’t just stop at refusing to support those of us who live on < $1.9/day in the global south. Rather, it goes further by taking away from us even the little that we have, awarding it all to the global north.
This leaves WE THE EXTREME POOR in the global south even poorer, all the while making rich countries in the global north even richer.
What I really mean:
Far from helping us escape poverty, the only time the world actually provides those of us in the global south with REAL AID, it only buries us in more debt, essentially placing a final nail in our coffin of poverty.
What is that real aid?
This kind of aid is often given in huge sums, but is very, very deadly.
This is the aid from large funding agencies that is primarily given as loans to national governments in poor countries (not to we the citizens who live directly on <$1.9/day), which aid only impoverishes WE THE POOR even more, through decades-long, sky-high interest payments.
