“If the United Nations was fully funded why would we need the Arc or Social Enterprise?”

United Nations is more of a political organization, which deals with sever issues. Nevertheless it has a section of its operations dealing with development of Low Income Countries, however the allocation of resources within organizations will always remain uneven. The money resource will always be prioritise for emergency issues, such as the recent crisis in Ukraine, rather than ongoing crisis in Ethiopia and other African countries facing poverty every day.

Therefore even if the United Nations was fully funded, Social Enterprise and organisations such as Arc will be constantly needed, as they don’t just “help” these countries by giving them money, but they teach them how to make money, which is far more important and long-term successful. Like a famous saying says “Would you rather keep giving fish to a group of people all your life, or put an effort to teach them how to fish for themselves once and it will serve them for all their lives, passing through generations”.
