Is this just a personal theory or does donated money really work harder when sent to a developing country to fund projects instead of further enhancing an already luxurious 'western' lifestyle?

I feel sure that the multiplier effect of sending money overseas is huge - provide a man with a fish and he eats for a day but give him equipment and skills and he can find his own food for ever - an old adage but relevant today. Give people the proper education, health and opportunities to take part in the global economy/community in a meaningful way and we will more quickly approach parity and happiness.

my sentiments exactly. cut down what you spend on yourself and send it off where it can do more good - like you say, pound for pound, ther is more value.
