A New Kind of Charity
I would like to create an organization that provides charity to intelligent and trustworthy people, rather than focusing all charity efforts on losers. Similarly, if anyone wants to help me, I would rather have their efforts assume that I'm competent, rather than assuming I'm some sort of stupid loser.
There are people who lack opportunity, who live in a lousy environment, who don't have a good network or family to rely on. It isn't the case that everyone who is "needy" is some kind of mentally retarded loser that needs someone to spoon feed him/her (it may be the case sometimes). Since there are countless charities, churches and others with low expectations out of people, I would just like to establish and alternative.

Below Left: with a minimal cost a high quality person can be given a chance to own their own business and generate a high level of income, sense of purpose in life, and otherwise contribute to society.
Below Right: for a similar cost as providing someone with a business you can feed them every day at a soup kitchen. This only makes sense if the person receiving the charity is incapable of responsible behavior or lacks intelligence. Surely this may be the case a lot of times, but there needs to be an option for intelligent/responsible people to get help |
