The Dangers of Social Intervention

By Robin Low

MAKING LIFE DECISIONSFOR THOSE WE TRY TO HELP

WHEN DISASTERS STRIKE,IT’S NATURE’S FAULT

WHAT HAPPENS AFTERWARDS,IT’S OUR RESPONSIBILITY

SOME PEOPLE ARE GIVEN A BURDEN,OTHERS, WE, ARE GIVEN A GIFT

USE YOUR GIFTTO LIFT THE BURDEN OF OTHERS

Everyone can help.

OFTEN WHEN WE HELP…

WE MAKE LIFE

DECISIONS FOR THOSE

WE ARE HELPING.

OFTEN WHEN WE

HELP…

We fail to see the

whole picture and feel

content to help.

We search the approach

most efficient to us not to

those we are trying to help.

DISPLACEMENT OF LOCAL CAPACITY IN DISASTER RESPONSE

EXCLUSION OF LOCALSIN DISASTER RECOVERY

WE MEASURE OUR SUCCESS BY THE

DELIVERY OF HELP OR COMPLETION OF

ACTIONS NOT ACTUAL IMPACT.

What happens to your donations?

SO THEN WHAT CAN WE DO?

NEVER HELP:

enable, engage, empower

and connect

THE CURSE OFEXCLUSION AND DISPLACEMENT

DISASTERS DON’T CREATE REFUGEES, THEY CREATE SURVIVORS.

IT IS THE CONVENTIONAL RELIEF SYSTEM THAT TURNS SURVIVORSINTO REFUGEES.

WHO ARE THE DISASTER SURVIVORS?

DISASTERS DESTROY THE PHYSICAL INFRASTRUCTURE, BUT THE SOCIAL STRUCTURE REMAINS

DISASTERS DESTROY THE

PHYSICAL INFRASTRUCTURE,

BUT THE SOCIAL STRUCTURE REMAINS

DISASTERS DO NOT DESTROY CAPACITY OR KNOWLEDGE
