This accounts to nearly another fifth of all income coming in for
Christian Aid. Emergency appeals rely significantly on the kindness of
the public, making up nearly a quarter of all income collected. Only
22% of income is actually from Governments and grants, and the rest is
from mostly the public and churches.
This money is spent in many ways throughout the world and in the UK:

This pie chart represents the percentage of money used for aid and how
it is spent to help others. It shows that over a half of the money
collected is used for the main development work in Less Developed
Countries. Emergency relief comes second but this can differ from
different years depending on the frequency and severity of disasters.
In this present year there will be considerably more spent on
Emergency Aid than other years, due to the Boxing Day Tsunami.
Educating about world development and fundraising are imperative as
well and take up over one fifth in total. Only 2% of the money
actually goes to the Administration; namely Christian Aid.
Abroad, relieving poverty and the disaster-stricken is a vital role
for Christian Aid. They are organised like this:
Emergency aid involves Christian Aid sending immediate help such as
food, antibiotics and shelters to the victims in Sri Lanka of the 2004
tsunami, sending food to drought-stricken Mozambique, and sending
blankets, tents and food to war refugees in Bosnia and Rwanda. This
takes priority over long-term aid and is between 10-15% of Christian
Aid’s funds spent each year.
Education takes up about 5% of Christian Aid’s spending on educating
the people about the need for world development and how to help
achieve it. A quarterly newspaper is published to notify on what
Christian Aid does and about world development. One article claims
that what the world spends on arms in a fortnight would give the world
enough food, education, water and shelter for a year.
Long-term aid is designed to help people help themselves and it
involves the funding projects in a basic drug factory in Bangladesh
and a Christian agricultural school in Lesotho. Noticing that this is
most of Christian Aid’s spending, they spend it efficiently so that
the countries they aid maintain the expertise gained and their overall
need can be repaired by the people who were taught.
“There should be no rich as long as there is poverty in the world”
I disagree with the above statement.
The primary reason for my view is that some people have not worked
hard and strived in life to become rich. The either were not
hard-working in school, or they chose the wrong role or job in life.
This is obviously most common in Developed Countries. After realizing
that they are not succeeding or have gone bankrupt, they start living
on the streets; ask for help or start committing crimes (i.e.
mugging). Some people might argue that these people were not born into
a successful family and did not have a decent chance of becoming
successful in life. However, I argue that there are many cases, such
as the well renowned entrepreneur Mohammed Al-Fayed, were a person was
born into poverty, but has ended up very successful because of his
