I had a (white) family member who went to Africa as a missionary. I (sadly) told him that there were people there who were profiting from the misery he would see. I warned him that if he solved too many of the local “problems” (access to water, sheltering orphans, etc.) he would disrupt the power structure and someone would take action to restore the miserable environment upon which their superiority was derived. Ultimately, he was threatened with arrest and imprisonment for his good deeds. One dark night, he and his family were attacked on a roadway they were known to travel which resulted in a serious facial injury to his child. They got the message, quickly grabbed the passports, and bugged out. It broke my heart to hear it.
Kudos! Your single phrase captures so well the reality.
Money to governments and NGOs is why governments and NGOs feather their nests first, and often last. What ever would these essentially evil people do if misery was abated?
