Description
Self Help Development International is an Irish development agency working in five countries in eastern Africa, which was founded in 1984 in response to the Ethiopian famine of that year.
Self Help works by helping people to help themselves. Innovative and appropriate technologies and techniques are employed by Self Help's African staff, who work in partnership with beneficiary communities and government agencies to create a real and lasting change. These people do not want food handouts, they want to grow their own and recover their independence and self sufficiency. Food aid may be essential in the short term, but in the long term the only way to break the famine cycle is through development.
In the past, money and effort have been wasted by the imposition of the first world ideas of progress on the culture and economies of under developed countries. Expensive development schemes have frequently ended up as white elephants simply because they do no answer the real needs of the people whom they were originally designed to benefit.
