Gallup asks people which of the following three charitable acts they have undertaken in the past month:
- donated money to an organization?
- volunteered time to an organization?
- helped a stranger, or someone they didn’t know who needed help?
The results make up the World Giving Index. It allows one to establish a rounded view of charitable behavior worldwide reflecting the fact that being charitable is about more than simply giving money.
Sierra Leone was the most giving country – followed by Guinea (2nd) and Angola (3rd).
When it came to the percent of people giving money Tanzania (42%) was tops with Cote d’Ivoire (6%) and Madagascar (6%) finishing last. People from Central African Republic (47%)volunteered their time more than any other African nation and Cote d’Ivoire (7%) and Burundi (7%) the least. Finally the percent of people who had helped a stranger in the last month was highest in Liberia (76%) and lowest in Madagascar (18%).
