Alleviating poverty effectively, requires support for projects that establish or develop schools

• Viru Daru Diriya Fund - Child sponsorship programme (by Heladivians for Heladivians)

• Senehasa - School fund for Children with special needs (by Heladivians for Heladivians)

• The State of the Children - UNICEF Report
  

Alleviating poverty effectively, requires a 'hand-up' in capital and not necessarily a 'hand-out'

Let us be inspired by:

• The Grameen Bank - Micro-finance

• KIVA - Loans that change Lives

Alleviating poverty effectively, requires an end to corruption

• World Corruption Index 2009 - Transparency International
