Year 9 Research into aid

In recent lessons we have been looking at aid and poverty. We have also been looking at the MDGs, LIVE8 and the Make Poverty History campaign - (click on the picture to learn more).

I asked you to research one of the following organisations (you can choose your own if you want)
OXFAM, CHRISTAIN AID, ACTION AID, CAFOD, PRACTICAL ACTION.

You should write your findings in your books.

I will be looking for the following:

What is the aim of the organisation?
What campaigns is it involved in?
What countries or regions does it support?
How does it provide support?
Finally consider - have the MDGs, LIVE8 and Make Poverty History made a difference?

A good piece of work will be neat, have detail - but it will be in your own words not just cut and pasted from the website. It will answer the questions above and will have your own ideas expressed in a geographical way.
