Members bolty58 Posted February 13, 2018 Members Share Posted February 13, 2018 (edited) I only ever give to local charities. Suspected for years that the vast majority of collected money goes to many things other than the target the giver intended (admin, vehicles, getting your rocks off etc.). I am sure I recall a study back in the 80's where they reckoned that the average amount of money which actually made it to the cause was around 30% of what was collected. For the last 10 years I have been raising (through the scooter scene) and giving money (including some of my own) to a local charity down here called the Parkerville Child Care and Youth Care organisation which does some pretty amazing work for battered, abused and abandoned kids. Even the fact that the CEO is a bucket shaker did not put me off. The very first contribution made paid for bathrooms to be installed in 12 sheltered units for under age abandoned pregnant girls - some as young as 12. Often the result of incestuous rape or grooming, the plight of these girls was truly sickening. Not all aboriginals I might add (even though such stuff is rife in their communities). At the time a third were of other origin including ours. Since then we have raised a good amount for them and am hopeful we will break through the $100,000 barrier very soon. If I knew 100% that a donation I made to, say, getting fresh clean water to some of these drought stricken African places and the like, I would be delighted to help. Problem is, I don't believe the vast majority gets there and this Oxfam Haiti disgrace only strengthens that belief.

Moderators Casino Posted February 13, 2018 Moderators Share Posted February 13, 2018 ive got an interview for this one Women's Rights Intern (INT4221) About Oxfam Oxfam is an International Non-Governmental Organisation working with others to overcome poverty and suffering and has been working in Kenya since 1963. Oxfam has extensive experience in implementing humanitarian and development programmes in the informal settlements of Nairobi and pastoral areas in collaboration with various local and international organisations. Women’s Rights in Oxfam Women’s limited participation in the social, economic and political processes in Kenya is majorly a factor of the historical patriarchal nature of the society. They are therefore faced with both systemic and cultural challenges in their bid to contribute to the County or National development agenda. Discriminatory social norms and gender stereotypes continue to be entertained in both formal and informal institutions thereby hindering progress towards gender equality. A case in point is in the unequal participation and representation of women in political process and economic spaces. The Role This opportunity will help build the role holder’s program performance measurement skills through exposure to a different aspects of programme management. As the Women’s Rights Intern, you will amongst other tasks support programmatic interventions by: Working with respective partners to collect best practices, case studies and required data that feeds into periodical reports (shared with Oxfam management, development partners and stakeholders), that demonstrates development. Liaise with the MEAL Advisor in documenting the lessons learnt and their application for adjustments to the project where necessary. Collate case studies and related project communication as required by RNSF that demonstrates and feeds into Program accountability and learning.

Site Supporter Tonge moor green jacket Posted February 13, 2018 Site Supporter Share Posted February 13, 2018 (edited) So much of aid ends up in the pockets of crims and politicians. Sounds harush but I don't donate to these major charity days. Prefer to give to cancer research where results will benefit all eventually. As for the oxfam case; one chap from a different charity was explaining how they have to be vigilant as their work provides an entry point for deviants and paedos. He acknowledged that such not rights do target such organisations. Seems that it's a bigger issue than just a few folk emptying their sacks Edited February 13, 2018 by Tonge moor green jacket Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maaarsh Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 Good to see media and print journos occupying the moral high ground. Hypocrites. Journos and lefty charity types could have a cracking contest for which profession has the highest self opinion. Whilst Oxfam execs are busy screaming at the wind and facilitating kiddy fiddlers, free market economics (i.e. people being allowed to run their own lives without someone else assuming they know better) has been busy taking well over a billion people out of poverty in last 30 years.
