benefit and by so doing ensure that some of the root-causes of poverty are redressed.
To avoid cultivating aid dependency. This is done by providing the assistance in the form of either a loan or a
once-only gift (seed money) for the specific purpose of achieving the goal of self-sufficiency.

institutional care
