An excerpt from the published article - Poverty in the Philippines: 3 Most Common Effects and Solutions Written by Kirsten Kate Javier
A great writer Helen Keller once said, “Alone, we can do so little; together we can do so much.”
It has always been proved even in our history that when we come together, we are unstoppable.
To demonstrate, charities and non-profit organizations have played a big role in addressing social issues. They can plan and take direct action to address their concerns through: Creating charitable programs, Supporting those in need in real-time by donating and Campaigning for policies that promote relief to society, and much more A great example of such an organization is Hunger Free Philippines. The organization delivers food door-to-door across the Philippines to families suffering from poverty. Not just that, they also have programs that give the children a chance to learn how to read and write as well. Hunger Free Philippines aims to lessen these heartbreaking consequences brought by extreme poverty. This is why such organizations exist today in hopes of slowly alleviating the effects of this social issue in our community. And guess what, we can join in the journey of change that these organizations are striving for.
