International aid is failingthe poor. However, OpFOLproves that targeted aid changes lives and communities. Campaign for change!

“I come from Africa, a resource-rich continent which is depicted as poor by conventional development statistics – so as to justify foreign aid.

Aid has driven Africans to lose confidence in their abilities andopportunities. It has promoted aculture of dependence - a cultureof relying on other people’s help.” Source: James Shikwati . Director, Inter
