The following video provides an introduction to Partners in Health.
“Charity is something you give to those ‘less fortunate than yourself’. It suggests a belief in a hierarchal system, an ‘us’ and a ‘them.’ It creates a power dynamic that further reinforces systems of oppression and economic inequality.
Solidarity, by contrast, takes a systems change approach. Its foundational philosophy is that all relationships and power dynamics are multi-directional and acknowledges that everyone has wisdom and resources to solve problems.”
