Charity in chunks

Having been blessed with the divine gift of empathy and sympathy resulting in our inner self satisfaction in the form of alms and charity which we practice on a large scale as a nation. however, never have we tried to ponder on the fact that the charity that we do individually in chunks does not benefit anyone on a permanent basis neither does it help in getting anyone settled in life by getting enough amount to start a living. the answer is a big NO. Why? The answer lies in the fact that the chunks of charity which we give occasionally to individuals whom we come across on roads does not amount to a substantial figure, thus not enabling any genuinely needy person to materialize a plan for settling in life through developing a means for living. If the same chunks of charity are accumulated at one place by forming some community clubs and having raised a considerable amount, could be used to help someone start a small scale business, it can contribute greatly in settling people and saving them from begging in future. Community needs to take an initiative in this regard and start working on micro level which could further lead to doing the same service on larger and broader scale. so instead of doing charity in chunks, we should work in entireties to generate change. Pakistanis as a nation, give millions of rupees in charity but still we see a big majority of people living below the poverty line. What could be the reason? In a country where millions and billions of rupees are being given as charity, why people’s quality of life could not improve.The simple reason is the unplanned structure of carrying out this activity. We seriously and genuinely need to set up a community service system for accumulation of alms and then using it for the settlement of really needy people. The day we will stop giving charity in chunks, we will see a change taking over.
