Good News: A recent survey of 200 charitable organizations across the globe found that donations to nonprofit groups or NGOs increased by almost 25% last year. Hang on...don't be so happy, read on...
Bad News: Not all charitable organizations gained equally from this increase.
- Religious groups gained the most (30 percent).
- Followed by environmental groups (23 percent).
- Whereas educational charitable organizations get a marginal increase in donations (3 percent).
So, people are ready to give more donations for charities, but their priority is not education as they prefer to give more to religious organizations. Don't you think it's crazy?
It's not only that the funds from Arabian and Gulf countries boosting Madrassaes, but more surprisingly the donations from western and developed countries going to the religious organizations.
I just wonder, what makes these people believe that religious organizations need more help than educational institutions? It becomes more ridiculous, when we all are aware of the terrible state of education and literacy rate in developing and poor countries.
Tell me, how crazy is that?
