Are you somebody who is bothered by the fact that there is so much poverty and inequality in the world today? Do you lose sleep thinking about poor people? Do you wish that there was more you could do to help, but feel as if you are wholly unqualified to make a difference? Then this site is for you.

Charity Reliance Against Poverty is an unofficial movement to help put good honest charity back on the agenda. We do not believe that the pursuit of global poverty eradication should primarily be the responsibility of development geeks and smart-Alec NGOs, who harp on about sustainability and empowerment. We believe in the power of direct giving, be it money, time, or things we no longer want. We are rich, they are poor, so let’s give, give, give. It’s hardly rocket science!

So long as poor people remain reliant on charity, then we, as wealthy westerners, are responsible. So please enjoy the site, and join our movement today.

And never forget, charity should be fun too!
