It includes emergency aid and practical help to disaster areas, medical support to remote towns and villages, vocational training for young people, facilities for schools in underdeveloped areas, water filtration units where pure water is urgently needed, assistance in the eradication of diseases such as Polio and the prevention of Malaria, plus many other projects which help bring a better quality of life to people around the world.
