Economic Sustainablity
Each of us wants to contribute to society, make a decent living, and not depend on others for our livelihood. Helping to create a global system of job opportunities and strong, local economies is essential to all our work and achieving the MDGs.
“Aid” is often portrayed as giving something to those who cannot support themselves. New Global Citizens approaches aid as a way of empowering people to support themselves by helping to supply the first step towards self-sufficiency. Helping people create, find, and keep jobs with decent wages is one of the best ways to ensure economic stability for all. Providing access to technology, small business loans, and education are all key.
