Good news headline of the day

US gives $15-M grant vs sugarland child labor

when I first read the headline, I wondered if all the money would go into the pockets of the local politicians and their families, or to fund rich NGO outsiders to "examine" the problem, but the good news is no:


With the grant, World Vision hopes to assist 52,000 children and 25,000 families get education opportunities for the children, sustainable livelihood for the parents and jobs for the youth. The project will be undertaken over four years.

The ABK 2 Initiative is holistic in its approach. It focuses on direct intervention and support at the micro (target beneficiaries), meso (institutions) and macro (policy) levels.
