·
4.4 billion people live in less economically
developed countries.
Three-fifths lack basic sanitation
Of these …
Almost one third have no
access to clean water
A quarter do not have
adequate housing
A fifth have no
access to modern health
services
“The amount of money the UK spends
On chocolate each year could make Africa
NOT live in poverty”
Why ?• Christians believe it is their duty to
put faith into action.• At the core of this belief they should
respect and care for human life.• “We are all made in the image and
likeness of God.” (Genesis 1)• By seeing God in others we accept
that we need to stop suffering and injustice and protect all human life.
Aid..?• Aid = Help sent to
countries in need.• Short term aid =
Emergency aid sent because of a disaster.
• Long term aid = Aid spread over many years with the goal of self reliance.

help end poverty?
