1. The 6 Basic Needs When people do not have access to some or all of these we say these people live in POVERTY!

2. DID YOU KNOW? For your notes…. 1 in 8 people in the world do not have enough to eat! Many people have to survive on one simple meal a day! Too many people do not have access to clean water – millions die from drinking dirty water every year. Only 1 child in 4 has access to secondary education! ¾ of the people in developing countries have only limited access to doctors or medicine. Many homes have no running water or electricity and many people are homeless. Real jobs are sparse; many live off what they grow.

3. atholic gency or verseas evelopment The letters in CAFOD stand for… “God made all people equal” “Love thy Neighbour” “It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the Kingdom of God.” “For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink” Read through these Christian beliefs about wealth and poverty, make a note of them in your book! You may want to put them in your own words!

4. What CAFOD actually does…. Increases access to clean water, education and healthcare. Ensure that people have the resources to survive, minimise and recover from emergencies and environmental threats. Work for peace and security, reducing the risk of violence and war. “At CAFOD we raise funds and encourage action from the Catholic community and beyond, and we’re sustained by their prayer and commitment” Hold fundraising events to support the development of schools and education systems in LEDC’s. Push for governments to create schemes that create more jobs for people in LEDC’s.

5. Religious Attitudes Religious teachings about how people should deal with world poverty are based on principles (ideas) that believers think are important in the treatment of other people – ‘love thy neighbour’ ‘building good karma’ or doing good deeds to earn a place in heaven. All people share a common bond of humanity even though we live in a multi-cultural society containing different races and religious faiths. We have a duty to care for all people all around the world – stewardship

6. Religious Attitudes CHRISTIANITY Main teaching is ‘love your neighbour as yourself’ from the Good Samaritan. This teaches people in need must be helped even if they are from a different race or religion. Being obsessed with money stops people from becoming closer to God or showing love for God. Money should be used to help the poor and homeless. There are many religious charities working throughout the world such as CAFOD, Christian Aid. BUDDHISM Wealth has to be earned honestly (right livelihood) and without causing anyone else to suffer. Wealth should be used to help others – shared. Generosity creates good karma. Craving money leads to suffering (4 Noble Truths). Good karma leads to enlightenment

7. (Emergency Aid) This is given when disasters take place. It focuses on getting the people affected the things they immediately need. Charities come together to do this. Saving life is the most important factor – success is judged on how many lives are saved or lost. This can include: Clean Water Blankets Food Medicine Tents (temporary shelter) Emergency Food Once the immediate needs have been met – what needs to happen next? For each of the ‘supports’ add a next step

8. UN Definition: “Development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their needs” For a project to be sustainable it must: Environmentally – Not damage the eco system. Socially – Promote a good livelihood that includes equality and justice. Culturally – Encourage economic growth and benefit everyone.

9. The aim of this is to set up long lasting projects that will last. It focuses on projects that people from that country can manage on their own. It can take years & works best if done by the local community because…? This will include the likelihood of sustainable development because…? (give 4 reasons why)

10. This can Include: Building Schools & Education Programmes Medical projects Building wells – water supplies made safe Permanent Shelter Transport Links Food is grown Long-term aid doesn’t just follow on from Emergency Aid – lots of charities work in LEDC’s in an educational role. E.g. teaching people about healthcare. In parts of Africa AIDS is a major problem and across the continent 6,000 people die of an AIDS related illness every day.

11. 1.Sniffer dogs and search teams 2.RAF aircraft 3.Tents and refuge camps 4.Water cleaning tablets 5.Dehydration kits 6.Clearance teams For your notes Charities have the capability to do this for two reasons: 1)They come together to raise money and send the aid. 2)They are more often that not already present in the countries that have a history of natural disasters.

12. Charities and relief organisations have to be prepared to be flexible and confident that they will have enough funding to support their work – otherwise everything they have done or do will dry up. This is why charities are constantly asking for funding. They can only plan long-term relief if they are confident it will work & they have the funding to support it.
