When we think of giving aid, most of our underlying intentions are to help people by giving them resources that would help improved the current situation. But what really happens when we give aid is that it just temporarily relief the problem instead of providing resources to help improve development for the people.

I also believe that development has to be primarily the countries’ business with support for international nations where it is
