That's an important truth. Here's another comment (two comments, actually) on the topic:

Charitable schemes are not the same as, and no guarantee of, charity. We must deal with the actual and individual, not the theoretical and general. Blake famously wrote:

He who would do good to another must do it in Minute Particulars: General Good is the plea of the scoundrel, hypocrite & flatterer, For Art & Science cannot exist but in minutely organised Particulars And not in generalising Demonstrations of the Rational Power. The Infinite alone resides in Definite & Determinate Identity. ~ The Matter With Things: Our Brains, Our Delusions, and the Unmaking of the World
