Collectively, moneys are given to governments for *cough* dispersal to peoples. ...either that or the ruling dictator at hand. One.org would better serve the worlds poorest people by working with forgein governments on reduction of corruption and fiscal responsibility than by talking with the worlds richest nations about giving more money. By dealing with the actual problem(s) {yes, they vary...} first, the majority of your funds might then land in the hands of the people for whom you intend. Unfortunately, One.org doesn't have any actual power, so they do the next most illogical thing: They pressure governments in order to bilk money from governmental coffers. Have you not noticed that One.org's ability to raise it's voice to the richest isn't balanced by raising it's voice to the poorest? One.org doesn't say much about corrupt 3rd world governments. You will, however, find that they scream the loudest about victories/defeats when it comes to governments that have money. ....funny that. You can’t.

How can we make sure that our effort to help reaches those in need in Zimbabwe, and not just caught up in red tape? It is indeed a tragedy to see people perish as the world watches.
