"Real Help" Donations
Published: 16:30 | 27.10.
People in Need is launching a long-term donation drive called Real Help, which will allow more effective assistance to reach people in poorer countries around the world. Proceeds from the donations will go toward building new schools and hospitals, drilling wells in dry areas and supporting small plot farmers to be able to provide for themselves.
People in Need is responding to this crisis situation in the developing world: "Poverty and its relative problems kill more people per year than natural disasters and war put together". The current global inflation of food prices, low literacy rates, prolonged drought, and the HIV/AIDS pandemic are causing the poverty situation to constantly grow worse. People in Need already helps with these long-term problems and aims to eliminate them.
A media campaign linked to the donations from Real Help will highlight these critical situations in developing countries and will seek to motivate new donors. With this aid People in Need is in a position to give more effective help to those who are in the most need.
People in Need has been helping for 16 years already and is one of the most respected humanitarian organisations in the Czech Republic. At present, it is developing projects in 13 countries around the world.
