subject: Charting a curriculum for Educational Charity [print this page] The second aspect of charity and intervention model for salvaging the menace of poverty, disease and hunger among the poor and the underprivileged is educational charity. As a matter of fact, this is what the poor actually need, and must be given if the development partners; world governments, corporate partners and non profit making organisations hope to achieve the desired goals. This concept of charity and intervention model is all encompassing. But over and above all, the differentiating factor is that it does not just provide measures to solve the immediate problems of the poor, it also empowers the poor and the underprivileged to be capable of solving their problems without recourse to external intervention. Using education as it common strategy, this concept of charity harness resources to educate the poor, equipping them with the needed skills and knowledge packages that will enable them to break the chain of dependence and take their destiny in their hands at any moment.
