Abstract
Christian compassion led the way in the creation of Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) to help the poor and needy in the society as a practical demonstration of Christian Ministry in the work of spreading the good news to the poor. Thus, NGOs emerged as approbation in playing a pivotal role to complement governments' effort in developing countries to improve social services and infrastructural development. NGOs do a lot for the poor but it's not enough to eradicate poverty. At best, it provides nutrients creating reliance instead of self-sufficiency. Nevertheless, NGOs work would be more beneficial if funds were invested in programmes that equip the underprivileged to develop self-supporting skills.
This thesis is about the work of All Nations International Development Agency (ANIDA) which focuses on using education as an empowering tool to equip the poor especially women and children to break the cycle of poverty and destitution.
The methodology used in this research was mainly qualitative, however, the quantitative methodology was used to sample views from the women at the Women's Development Centre and from parents of the Child Sponsorship Programme.
Governments and International bodies must encourage the work of Non-Profit Organizations in their quest to making society a better place for all particularly the vulnerable and poor in society.
