Helping Hands

Physical Geography and Natural Resources

Self Sufficiency

During times of disaster the Helping Hands Association works with other associations such as American Red Cross to provide relief when a disaster hits and support recovery activities to help communities get back on their feet. Caseworkers at the Helping Hands Association work diligently to Sub-Saharan Africa with medical care for people with HIV, AIDS and malaria. We also help the countries of Burundi, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Somalia and Sudan.

In an effort to help Sub-Saharan Africa convert from colonial to the global capitalism system, developed countries have used foreign aid to help feed the civil population, build infrastructure provide clean drinking water and support the governments of transpiring democracies.

Successful Foreign Aid

Political and Social Stability

The Helping Hands Association has learned that giving money the government of Africa will not solve the problem but only greaten the corruption and poverty in Africa. As a group have traveled to small slums like the one in Siberia, the capitol of Kenya Nairobi which is home to one million people all living in makeshift houses made of cardboard and scraps in an area only one square mile. The Helping Hands Association has set out to establish with the help the people of Kenya with running water and safe living environments.

Political instability has become endemic to Sub-Saharan Africa. Since the early 1960s, when most of the African countries began to achieve independence, more than fifty coups have taken place in the continent. This rise in political decay has significantly affected economic development. This study examines the relationship between elite political instability and economic development in Sub-Saharan Africa. It concludes that lack of political stability has contributed significantly to economic stagnation in the continent of Africa.

Failed Foreign Relief

Sub Saharan Africa

For 40 years, U.S. foreign aid has been judged by its intentions, not its results. Foreign aid programs have been perpetuated and expanded not because they have succeeded, but because giving foreign aid still seems like a good idea. But foreign aid has rarely done anything that countries could not have done for themselves. And it has often encouraged the recipient governments' worst tendencies--helping to underwrite programs and policies that have starved thousands of people and derailed struggling economies.
