• We also know that the various faith-based institutions provide about 50 per cent of the health and education services in the poor communities; we also know that they have a large constituency including women and youth; they have outreach and networks and they are credible to their people.

  Thoraya Obaid

  Giordano Bruno

  Believe, Hero, Son
