We Africans don’t need your pity and sympathy.

我们非洲人不需要你们的怜悯和同情。

Stop sponsoring “ poverty porn”. We do not need your donations. Please, keep it toyourself. It makes you feel good, but it does not do good. It has never done any good and will never do good. Your donations make things worse.

停止赞助“贫困宣传”（原文porn，即色情，带有批判西方国家和慈善组织借宣传非洲贫困，展现道德情怀、自我满足的意思，这里意译为“宣传”）。我们不需要你们的捐款。拜托你们自己留着。这只让你们感觉良好，对我们毫无帮助。从来没有，以后也不会。你们的捐款只会让事情更糟。



It is a big business for the mafia organizations who work in the industry. As an African, Iam tired of this poverty porn phenomena. I will explain my story below.

这只是慈善行业内黑帮组织的大生意。作为非洲人，我对贫困宣传的现象感到厌倦。之后我会讲述我的故事。

I took this above picture this February 2018 at a gas station bathroom in Germany.

我在18年2月从一个德国加油站的卫生间拍了上面这张照片。

I am going on a road trip to Munich, Germany. On the way, I stopped by a gas station toget coffee and food. I went to the bathroom to take care of my business. As I sat on the toilet, this picture was up in my face, asking me to donate nowor die inside with guilt and shame!

我即将公路旅行到德国慕尼黑。在路上，我在一家加油站停下来买点咖啡和食物，顺便去洗手间解手。我坐在马桶上，这张照片就正对着我的脸，告诫我要不现在捐款，要么被愧疚和羞耻即刻淹没！

The poster is self-explanatory, but I will translate. It reads:

这张海报的意思显而易见，但我还是来翻译一下。它说：

“Aktion Deutschland” is a coordinator of many German Charity Organizations. Theyclaim to help people of Africa fighting against hunger. They urge people to DONATE NOW!

“行动中的德国”是许多德国慈善机构的协调者。他们宣称正帮助非洲人民与饥饿抗争，他们敦促人们立刻捐款！



Red Cross Built Exactly 6 Homes For Haiti With Nearly Half A Billion Dollars In Donations

新闻链接：红十字用接近5亿美元捐款在海地造了6幢房子

The American RedCross raised $ 500million dollars to rebuild 130,000 homes for Haiti people. In the end, 4 years later, it was found that they only manage to build 7 houses only. * Sevenfucking make shift houses for $ 500 million dollars*.

美国红十字筹集了5亿美元来为海地人民重建13万所房屋。4年后，人们发现他们最终只建了7幢屋子。*5亿美元就7所破房子*

Where did the money go? Your guess is as good as mine. To the upper-middle class workersand the MAFIA organizations they work for. Flying business class, staying at high-end luxury hotels, big salaries and bonuses, expensive parties in exoticresorts, luxury cars, and any other waste you can think of. They do it all!

钱去哪了？我们差不多都可以想象。都进了中上管理层员工和他们服务的黑帮组织的口袋里。商务舱机票，高端奢侈宾馆，高额薪资和福利，异国胜地狂欢派对，高档轿车，任何你能想象得到的腐败，他们一一笑纳！

It is not just the American RedCross. It is all of them. Their scandals ranges from money laundering, corruption cases, child sexabuse of young girls and women, you name it. In the end, nobody get punished and they keep asking for donations every year.

这种行为绝不仅限于美国红十字，而是集体行为。这些慈善机构的丑闻包含了洗钱，腐败，针对年轻女孩的儿童性虐待，不一而足。然而没有人得到惩处，继续年年要钱。



How does it affect Africa and the poor in general?

这如何影响非洲和贫困人口？

So much is wrong with this poverty porn scenario. But it does not stop there. It goes way beyond what you can imagine. Because of all these images all over the place, people get to the point where all they know about Africa is poverty, hungry kids, jungle and animals.

这种贫困宣传大错特错，百害而无一利。它造成的危害远甚于你想象。因为这些无所不在的图像，人们对非洲唯一认知就是贫困，饥饿的儿童，丛林和动物。

This is why the moment you mention that you are African, people start asking you all sortsof “ dumb” questions. WHY? Because these images present a one sided view ofAfrica. A negative image of Africa that no potential tourists want to visit and explore.

这也是为什么一旦你提及自己是非洲人，人们开始问各种“愚蠢”的问题。为什么？因为这些图片表现得只是非洲的一面。而这样负面的非洲形象无法吸引任何潜在的游客。

As an African who travels around the continent so aften, I can tell you that therevenues that Africa should be gaining through tourism and investment would be way more than all the donations that these NGOs collect to enrich themselves pretending to help poor Africans.

作为一位云游整个非洲大陆的非洲人，我可以告诉你，非洲本应从旅游业和投资中获得的收入，远高于这些假装帮助贫困非洲人、实际自私自利的NGO们筹集的全部捐款。

Beyong stealing your money, stripping off the poor’s dignity and respect as humans, sex abuse scandals, money laundering, corruption, and other petty crimes, these NGO’s are painting an incomplete one-sided story of Africa.

除了偷盗钱财，剥夺贫困人民为人的尊严，性虐丑闻，洗钱，腐败和其他卑鄙罪行，这些NGO对非洲的描绘片面单一。

There are way more better ways to help the poor. That is to help the poor helpthemselves. Give them the tools they need to provide for themselves. Do you people think you can feed a “ hungry kid” in Africa until they grow up?

有许多更好的办法来帮助穷人。重在帮助穷人本身。给予他们独立自主的工具。你们难道认为可以一直资助一个“饥饿的孩子”直到他们长大吗？

· If you really want to help the poor,visit and explore their countries.

· 如果你真的想帮助穷人，拜访、探索他们的国家。



Debunking common myths and stereotypes about Africa.

破除有关非洲的谎言和刻板印象。

Please, keep your money.

拜托你们留着你们的钱。

Last but not least, don’t fall for their claims. You are being played. Keep your money. Thebigger they are, the more corrupt these organizations get. Their main concernis not to eraducate poverty. Their primary focus is to keep people dirt-poor sothat they keep collecting donations.

最后，不要相信他们的宣传。你被欺骗了。留着你们的钱。这些机构越大，越腐败。他们的首要目标不是消除贫困。他们的主要目标是要保持非洲人民贫穷，所以他们才能继续收集捐款。

It makes you feel good to donate, but you are not helping. You are being scammed big time.Instead, save your money and come visit if you can.

捐助让你感觉好，但没有实质作用。你被愚弄了。相反的，留着你的钱，有机会过来看看。
