CAFOD (St Helen’s) pray-fast-give
In recent times the commitment of our government to
providing Foreign Aid has been questioned. Some voices
suggest that the money should be better spent at home; on
the NHS for instance.
A recent report has highlighted the much greater
effectiveness of aid provided through charities, such as
CAFOD, which work directly with people at the forefront of
development aid in each country, by-passing the risk of
corruption with governments. Government aid used to
match-fund Lenten appeals, for example, has a much
greater effect than direct grants to the countries concerned.
Whatever your personal views on foreign aid, this pre-
election period gives us the opportunity to ask those
seeking our vote for a commitment to channel more of the
foreign aid budget effectively in this way.
Last week’s donations totalled £288. Thank you again.
