Understanding this quote
The quote argues that philanthropic funding alone is not enough to grow an effort to a worldwide scale. Reaching many countries or people requires a different or larger source of capital than charitable money can provide. It presents global expansion as a financial challenge, not as something philanthropy can accomplish by itself.
