*Villagers Say They Want More Than 'Dead Aid'* *Follow Pindula on WhatsApp for daily new updates* https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029Va84dngJP21B2nWeyM3v?pr Some villagers in Matobo District in southern Zimbabwe are not sure that “dead aid”, that is, continuously giving cash handouts to poor people, is the way to go. A villager who spoke to The Herald acknowledged that food aid is needed in times of crisis but in the long run, poor people need capital goods for them to be economically empowered. Said the villager: ---------- *HOT DEALS:* *itel A70 - (128GB, 3GB RAM) $89,* *itel A70 - (256GB, 4GB RAM) $99* *itel P40 (128GB, 4GB), (6000mAh) $99* *itel P40 (64GB, 4G), (6000mAh) $93* *LATEST: itel S24 (128) $124; S24 (256GB) $159* Cash on Delivery in Harare & Bulawayo.

Some people when they receive the US$50 from an NGO giving us cash as food aid, they spend it on beer. > Yes, we need food aid, but it must be spent wisely on food. The most important kind of aid is the one that empowers us to grow our own food and earn some income on our own. Non-governmental organisations (NGOs) have often stepped in when people are in great need, for example, to alleviate hardships caused by droughts or tropical cyclones. However, observers consider the dishing out of cash to people without incentivising them to work for themselves will ultimately breed the “aid syndrome”. *More: The Herald* _If you found this article useful_ *Please support Pindula by forwarding to friends and groups*
