Hi,

Your work is awesome, thank you very much for all this inspirational stuff.
I was thinking that it would be interesting to update this data with the flooding in Pakistan, to show how small the amount of international support is.

Interesting how canada may trail the US in terms of most cash, but then suddenly drop so badly when it comes to $ donated per person. Either way, way to go Canada!

Well the country is represented by its government. If the government is generous, then we can consider that people are generous as well.

It’s a leader and follower principle.

If the leaders can’t give much, guess what will be the level of the generosity of its followers…

Happy to see that Canada was in the top leagues here — and at $3.89 the highest per person amount to boot! Great way of visualizing the data, thanks!

As others have noted, the country-by-country figures show only the government-provided aid. It does NOT include aid given privately by individuals and groups from each country. It is exceedingly misleading to label this “most giving” countries, because it does not reflect the total amount of aid being given by all the people of that country… only the aid that flows through their central government first.
