while thinking about extreme poverty I came across the thought that some people in extreme poverty might not know how to spend their money as effectively as possible to have the highest chance of survival or most healthy life.
Maybe EA could create guides directly for those people in order to help them on how to manage their income as effectively as possible.
This is just an idea that came to my mind and I have no certainty about this concept, I would love to hear other EAs opinions on it. Please tell me if I am completely wrong.
I agree Sebastian! Your reasoning is the same as the popular proverb: Give a man a fish, you feed him for a day. Teach a man how to fish, and you feed him for a lifetime.
