ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Foreign aid

Foreign aid is like sharing your toys with your friends who don't have as many toys as you do. Just like how we give our friends toys to help them have fun and be happy, countries also give money and resources to other countries to help them with things like food, healthcare, education, and disaster relief.

Sometimes, countries might not have enough money or resources to take care of all their people, so they ask other countries for help. These other countries can give money or resources to help the people who need it most.

Foreign aid can also help countries build important things like hospitals, schools, and roads. This helps people who live in those countries have a better life and helps the country become stronger and more independent.

Overall, foreign aid is a way for countries to help each other out and show kindness and generosity, just like we do when we share our toys with our friends.
