INTRODUCING THE PROGRAMME OF POVERTY ALLEVIATION CRUSADERS (PAC)
Reaching out to touch, where it hurts most.
Our Mission
The Poverty Alleviation Crusaders(PAC) is an international Non-Governmental Organisation (NGO). Through social mobilisation and survival techniques, we assist in alleviating poverty through the creation of job opportunities, such that the people will be able to earn a living and also to ensure food security such that the people will have enough food for consumption and for export.We also contribute to diminishing the information gap and to furthering a better understanding of the need to promote democratic rights and good governance, small scale agricultural production; promotion fo small scale commercial and industrial enterprises, promotion of skills acquisition and self employment schemes. Coupled with provision of rural and community base infrastructural facilities such as roads, market for local goods, rural electrification, telecomunication, youths employement and vocational skills development / open apprenticeship programme, special public works programme, agricultural programme, small scale industries, and graduate employement programme . With special reference to the saying “That Health is Wealth”. Our Philosophy
Our work is based on the conviction that to alleviate poverty, Harnessing Community Participation as a major tool to execute our programmes through the “ Intergated Community Participatory Development Approach”. PAC has found that we cannot celebrate our remarkable achievements in science and technology and other areas of human endeavours, while million of our fellow human beings, continue to live in a world of deprivation and starvation. Our continent faces daunting challenges, above all by poverty now exacerbated by HIV/AIDS pandemic . Families and the whole society are often caught in a downward spiral of poverty, illness and environmental degradation, spurred on by high population growth rates that outstript efforts to address other crucial development issues, because most families have too many children that they can hardly cater for.
The implication of an extra pair of hands also means another body to be sheltered, educated, clothed and fed. In other words, one more child means greater demand for already scare resources, in an environment which cannot endlessly produce. There are many reasons why families are unable to produce or buy enough food to meet their nutritional needs, which is a major identified problem in our various rural communities, such as poverty, landlessness, illness, drought, flood, armed conflicts, e.t.c. Further underlying causes are not enough food and sometime water in most homes, etc.

Notifying Visitors of Site Enhancements
Another idea for my home page’s text is notifying visitors about the enhancements I put on my site. For example, I want visitors to sign my guestbook or fill out my survey Form E-mailer to answer questions about my site, my business, or my site’s topic.
