The Importance of Charity Work With Emphasis on the Less Privileged

*The Importance of charity work with emphasis on the less privileged*


There is no society in the world that has evenly distributed wealth. In fact, what we have is an hierarchy of status; from acutely poor to poor to middle class, rich, wealthy, affluent, etc the list is like the frequency of a wave with varying wavelengths.


Everyone has needs, human wants are unlimited but some lack even the basic things of life that others care less about. Some rich people have a lot of houses put up for rent which some people are at the brink of being thrown out of their homes for not being able to meet up with their rent for years. This class will still be thankful to God when they see people sleeping under the bridge and pray they don't end up there.


Some rich people have and they give while Some have but can not give, Some poor people have and would have loved to give if they were in such position, Some poor people do not have and will still not give if they were opportuned to.


*We all fall into one of these categories* that is why there can never be a balance of wealth in any society


The category of rich people who truly want to help go ahead to form different charities. The ones who have compassion for people living with HIV form theirs, the ones who have passion for women and care for the ones abused open theirs, the ones who have passion for Heamophilia patients too have their charities. *Now, Charities depend solely on donations.


Charities like Churches and other religious bodies depend solely on donations and that's why am usually stunned when people ask how Helping Hands as a charity organisation makes its money from. Surprised again when asked what Helping Hands use the money for. Both questions will reveal themselves.


Had it been the poor family that is about to be thrown out of their flat for not being able to meet up with their rent for years appreciated and donated to the course of the ones under the bridge, there would possibly have been another charity they could go for solace that can offset their rent. Maybe


We use the charity we can afford to give to, to pray for ourselves. That is why some people donate different things to different societies not because they are so rich, what they have is surplus , they do it as a form of prayer to the higher status above their hierarchy of needs or as a means of saving for a rainy day. A man might want to donate blood knowing full well that one day, he might be the one in need of it. What would be the plight of accident victims if everyone has never donated?


Although Christianity hammers and bothers so much on giving let's remove religion from this. What I have explained above is the moral angle of it.
