“Overcoming poverty is not a gesture of charity. It is the protection of a fundamental human right, the right to dignity and a decent life” – Nelson Mandela.
A foundational aim of the CIA is to identify and champion causes where we can make a difference in Ibusa and help in the alleviation of poverty. Whilst recognising that we cannot solve all problems, we believe in many small steps in the right direction. It is important to get involved, lead the way and use our platform to help our brothers and sisters in Ibusa.
Nelson Mandela gave a rousing speech on Making Poverty History in 2005, located here: Nelson Mandela Speech in Trafalgar Square. We encourage you to watch and listen to the video for his comments on poverty alleviation and hope that it inspires you as much as it did us.
