Charity stays inside wealthiest countries

A strange fact of philanthropy is that most charitable giving stays inside the wealthiest countries.

Americans, for instance, regard themselves as generous, yet only a tiny fraction of US charity goes anywhere outside the country.

Most charity stays in the two dozen richest nations!

How ironic that so little flows to the poorest nations where human needs are greatest and opportunities for doing good are exceptional.
