Impact on communities being "saved" by white saviors?

The concept of white saviors swooping in to save communities in need has been a contentious issue, often leading to unintended consequences and reinforcing harmful power dynamics. While the intentions of these individuals may be well-meaning, their actions can often perpetuate a sense of dependency and undermine the self-determination of the community members. It is important for these individuals to approach their efforts with humility, respect, and a commitment to working collaboratively with local leaders and organizations to ensure that their impact is truly sustainable and empowering for the community.
