What is Foreign aid?
'''Foreign aid''' is a [[country]] helping another country by giving money or things or sending people. That is especially needed when a [[disaster]] happens in a poor country. The help is sometimes comes from a country's [[government]], but the country's ordinary people sometimes give money. Foreign aid may help by giving food and clean water to people who need them. A [[charitable organization|charity]] usually donates to the [[developing country|developing countries]]. Some aid is for [[economic development]]. The poorer countries are called LEDCs (Less Economically Developed Countries). The richer countries are called MEDCs (More Economically Developed Countries). The [[United Nations]] and the [[Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development]] also work for such aid for poorer countries. == References == {{Politics-stub}} [[Category:International relations]]
