I totally agree this is a really shitty article.

What I like about Watsi is that is finds a model of charity that is transparent, low-overhead and not-creating-dependencies. By not-creating-dependencies I mean that supplying food (unless in crises) will make people dependent on your handouts, thus creating a dependency. Getting an individual's medical problem fixed, that will otherwise FOR SURE go unfixed due to lack of money, will truly benefit that person (and their families).

Watsi provides me a clear way to do charity without most of the common drawbacks (high overhead and creating dependencies).

Thanks Watsi.
