Basic Idea--- " Help Them to Help Themselves "

“You don’t need fancy highbrow traditions or money to really learn. You just need people with the desire to better themselves.”


-Adam Cooper and Bill Collage
My project for mini-thesis deals with the same concept , I believe that every person has a right to basic living standards like sanitation , clean water and adequate housing. And I also believe that the only thing that can help in achieveing it is education and the new technologies.

But have we really reached our goals , are the new technologies really helping people around the globe. With the kind of technologies that we have today and the mass of educated people that are in the world we should have eradicated most of the problem’s , but have we?

Statistical data shows:- Half the world’s population lives on two dollars a day,and 800 million people are malnourished in developing countries.1.3 billion people who have no clean water.

- Two billion people have no sanitation.
- Two billion have no electricity.

Now the question is why are we still at the starting line , why haven’t we seen any improvements , why half of the worlds population is still under poverty line and has no external help.

The answer is education, I strongly believe education and knowledge can bring serious change in the society. All we have to do is pass it on. Help them to understand the new technologies and let them then pass on the flame of knowledge to others
