Foreign Aid
Money sent by foreign aid can help the economy in a
developing country and their poverty. Schools, better structure for government,
and businesses can all be built with foreign aid. The United I believe foreign aid is very helpful to a poor country
and some countries should get more foreign aid.
With the new president Donald
Trump making threats and passing new laws to prevent immigrants from coming
illegally into the United States, the developing countries need more money to
prevent their people from leaving. Many people leave their country to find a
job and get a better life, and with the foreign aid the countries can get a
better economy so their people can stay in their country.
Along with
that since many people living here that are illegal are being sent back to
where they came from they are going to a place with danger, violence and
poverty. Them being sent back endangers their children
unless money or foreign aid can help the government have better structure and
control of their country.
34 million
dollars are given to Guatemala as foreign aid to help them out of the 35
billion dollars the US donates as a whole. While there is a possibility that
some of the countries use the money in the wrong way, many other countries such
as Guatemala depend and rely on the money in order to keep their economy alive
and running for just one more day.
Guatemala,
Mexico, Haiti, Colombia, Honduras and El Salvador are some of the Central
American and Latin American countries that are provided a tiny amount of money
to help them economically, but are reliable trading partners with the USA.
These countries provide the US with resources that we use every day and the
United States can do a lot more by providing them with more money to not have
them not be developing countries anymore. It can be a bigger and better thank you
for what they do for us.
Starbucks
is a popular drink place where many people go to get a good cheap cup of
coffee. Brazil, Colombia, Vietnam and Indonesia are some of the United States
largest and biggest coffee bean traders and sellers. All of those countries are
considered developing countries and none of them get more than 400 million
dollars to help the economy improve their living and poverty. And yet they give
us something a lot of people need and want every day.
Many people
and families that live in Guatemala get paid less than 1 dollar a day to pay
for food, water and shelter. Along with not getting paid very much the families
tend to have 3 or more children living at the house. Money sent by the United
States can bring new job opportunities for a steady income even though many
people cannot read or write.
Schools and
education cost roughly 25 dollars to buy and pay for books, about 30% of all
Guatemalans cannot read or write because they cannot afford the expenses. With the help of foreign aid many banks such
as the Grameen Bank can be built to give out loans to people who are in
desperate need of help. Loans can help a
family begin a new life and start a new business if the loans are paid off and
the business does well.
Foreign aid
can pay for medicines and doctors’ offices for children who become sick in the
poor working and environmental conditions. 19 out of a thousand children die
because of the poor conditions people in Guatemala live in, most only have
concrete walls a wooden roof and some rugs to sleep on. Better health by having
doctors and a better home will lower the amount of deaths of children and will
increase their survival.
One million
dollars could be the life of death of some people in developing countries. With
the help from the US government by giving more, or even you by donating at
charities can help those in need. Even if you don’t own much, a little bit can
go a long way.
