'Critical' to Foreign-Policy Efforts.
As reported by Ian Wilhelm for The Chronicle of Philanthropy.Speaking to attendees of a meeting organized by
InterAction, a Washington coalition of about 160
charities that work overseas, Ms. Rice said aid is
crucial to preventing the spread of terrorism and
a moral obligation of a wealthy nation.
"In the 21st century, defined as it is thus far by an
unprecedented and increasing interdependence,
human development is both a moral end in itself
and also a central pillar of our national security," she
said. "For as long as civil conflicts can beget global
crises, as long as preventable diseases destroy the
social fabric of entire countries and entire continents,
as long as half the human race lives on less than $2 a
day, the developing world will neither be just nor will
it be stable."

What Ms. Rice is pointing out is the fact that what
people live for has very much to do with their
actions, negative and positive. By creating a world
where people of all genders, ethnicities, and age
have something to live for we create a more stable
environment where people value their life, therefore,
they also value others.
Give today and you'll be directly contributing to a
better tomorrow!
