Do me a favor please.

Dear teachers,

I'm really mixed up with this sentence.Would you help me please?

"Indeed the origins of the current...foreign aid crisis may very well lie
not only in the abuses,misuses,and ineffectiveness of past aid programs,
but in the very source of all these :
their underlying assumptions about people and the weaknesses patronizingly ascribed
to them."

Thanks in Advance
p.s. my two previous Qs were not answered.

The reason that foreign aid is presently being misused and abused, and past programs ineffective is related to the way in which we view the people or the countries that need the aid. To fix the crisis, we need to change the way we think.
