Sobre o que eu estava a dizer, podem conferir o trabalho de algumas organizações não governamentais:

"Operations aim to:

Improve nutrition and quality of life of world's most vulnerable people at critical times in their lives.

Enable development by (a) helping people build assets that benefit them directly; (b) promoting the self-reliance of poor people and communities.

Our sustainable development projects enable communities to achieve a better quality of life and escape the spiral of poverty." [http://www.worldforworld.org/operations.asp]
