Nowadays, as poverty started to become a serious threat, many non-religious and non-profit organizations around the world are now having their plans and actions on how to stop such problem. Since they can observe that many people especially the poor are now having so many hardships because of poverty. The primary objective of these philanthropic organizations is to help the poor by means of health education and outreach program. They go to deprived communities and identify the needs of its people. Usually, they perform medical missions and other health care related services through the help of their volunteers for the reason that not all the poor can afford to undergo proper medications. Aside from this, they also conduct free livelihood trainings so that the poor can make use of their skills and for them to prove that they are not useless. In addition, they educate the people from impoverished communities about the importance of practicing good health. “The greatest wealth in this world is Health”, that is why they are doing these kind acts.
