Aid Increase in Germany
Share
Great news coming from Germany today as the government agreed to increase poverty-focused development assistance by €800 Million ($1.27 billion) in the 2009 budget. This will crease the Development Ministry’s budget by more than 12% and marks the third year running that Germany has substantially increased aid.
The budget now heads to parliament for a decision in November.

I am glad to hear this. Do groups exist to promote the goals of ONE.ORG in Europe? People in Europe have asked me.
