The notorious imbalance of human aid:

There is an alternative!

The latest survey from the Commission Coopération Développement on the resources and expenses of International Soldiarity Organizations in 2004 and 2005 (published in Sept. 2008) confirms yet again a strong polarization of donations. There are but twenty assosciations attracting three quarters of all the resources in France. These large charitable and environmental organizations receive an abundance of media coverage, yet are not the only ones working for the benefit of the planet: small NGOs, in every country of the world, perform daily actions closer to the ground. The thousands of efficient, small-scaled, cost-effective organizations are, in fact, most especially playing a role in sustainable development.
