Just because you are poor, that doesn’t mean that you don’t give. And often it means that you give more, as has been widely demonstrated. People in poverty give a higher percentage of their income than wealthier individuals do.
In an index on charitable activity done by the Charities Aid Foundation, 8% of Liberia’s population donated money to nonprofits. In contrast, Chinese people give 4% and Russians 6%.
Even more compelling was that Liberians help strangers at a staggering rate of 76%. What a resounding statement about caring for their communities!
