You are correct in saying that it would be good if they had running water and electricity. How many of you know how to properly wire a 2000 volt transformer? How many of you know how to properly build an aquaduct? For that matter, how many of you know how to install a faucet or wire a house? You can learn how to do all of this on the Internet.
It goes back to the simple saying, you can give a man a fish and he eats for a day or you can teach a man to fish and he eats for a lifetime.
This is about giving them the knowlege to improve their quality of life, not giving them a hand out so they become dependant on us. The problem with the poverty in the US is that these people are getting a hand out from all of us, so they have no desire to put out the effort to improve their quality of life. |

Unfortunately, you can also learn how to do it wrong on the Internet. |
