The Future of Poverty

Has the support given to developing countries from charity groups helped to stop poverty?

 

Claim: The support given to developing countries from charity groups over the past years has made some significant progress in helping to stop poverty. However, there is still more that needs to be done.

 

Evidence:

"All parents share the fundamental desire to provide enough food for their family’s needs. A World Vision project has helped hundreds of parents in low income areas of rural Sri Lanka to do just that."

(WorldVision, 2013)

"This role has facilitated many great outcomes in a short time, that otherwise would not have been possible."

(Salvation Army, 2012)

"Delegates supported vulnerable communities by utilising their specialist technical skills in the profiles of health; water, sanitation and hygiene; protection; and economic security."

(Red Cross, 2013)
