Building Lives
How faiths and aid agencies work together against poverty and disaster
About The Book
With Global Citizenship on the map, schools will welcome Islamic Relief’s book ‘Building Lives: How faiths and aid agencies work together against poverty and disaster’.
The colourful range of photographs and information in this scrapbook style book answers questions about what a faith-based aid agency does and why they do it. As well as answering the ‘big’ questions about why poverty exists in the first place, the book reveals the nuts and bolts of how people’s lives are rebuilt after a natural disaster through: emergency relief, housing, education, income generation, healthcare, water and sanitation.
Complete with a glossary at the back, pair and group activities on every spread, and information on Muslim beliefs about poverty, this book compliments any cross- curricular topic work on this subject.
