African Aid

I think that it is good that we are trying to help the countries in Africa by giving them aid. However we obviously need to make some changes and try to have a little more success with how we do it. First off whenever we give aid we need to make sure that the aid is getting to the people and is not being taken by the government. One way to fix this might be by giving aid only to international organizations instead of the government. They are there and are able to see what needs to be done better. Another key for giving aid is that we need to make sure that we are not hurting the businesses that are in the country by giving away free food whenever there is some available. More of a focus should be on having African companies do the rebuilding instead of having international companies coming in and doing the work. If the aid that we are giving goes to different projects that will help the country provide services for its people there might be more success with helping Africa. I guess overall the main focus for people giving aid should be trying to build up the infrastructure in the country and having them be able to support themselves.
