Eradicating poverty

From Merdeka

Eradicating poverty is not an easy job. It needs serious efforts. Conglomerates should participate in the poverty eradication program. We know that about 30 million people still live under the poverty line.

Under the Presidential Instructions on backward villages program (IDT), the government has allocated Rp 20 million for least developed villages. Unfortunately many entitled recipients do not receive the IDT funds directly. Small traders, sidewalk vendors, etc. must wait until authorities deliver the funds to the needy.

I think the aid would be more beneficial if the benefactors donate Rp 25,000 directly to the recipients without expecting them to repay the money. This is one way to answer the challenge of development.
