Our human compassion binds us the one to the other -- not in pity or patronizingly, but as human beings who have learnt how to turn our common suffering into hope for the future. - Nelson Mandela

AT B-GIFTED we lay the foundation such that people who were hit by several years of war and violence and now (Ebola), can atone for those years and rebuild their lives. Development Cooperation is not a panacea. It cannot replace efforts by the partners themselves, as sometimes aid is ineffective. However, there is no alternative, because the many positive results give hope, and hope gives people a future for their lives, rights as humans to live and their human dignity. Poverty and need have many causes. These include structural weakness, as well as natural disasters and wars. We also reckon that where there are large poverty gaps, there is a greater risk of conflicts. B-Gifted with partners in the west create the preconditions essential to sustainable, forward looking development. We should also lay the foundation on which people who have been impacted by war and poverty can rebuild their future.
