Humanitarian organization ADRA exists with the aim to provide help where is needed and to support development and recovery of catastrophe-stricken communities as well as socially imperilled environments without regard to race, ethnicity or religious association.
ADRA Serbia with its headquarters in Belgrade has operated on this territory since 1990 and is one of 125 section offices of ADRA in the world. Since the opening of its office in Belgrade, ADRA of Serbia and Montenegro continually helps socially the most imperilled categories of society with special attention to the handicapped.
ADRA is one of the numerous humanitarian organizations and people of good will, which make an effort on daily basis to give help and support during recovery and development to those in need. However, it is important to point out that, first of all, there is the reverse of the medal in fight against poverty.
According to the latest statistical reports there are 60% of people on earth who live with less than 1 dollar a day which is considered to be the limit of poverty even if the newest assessments say that the limit should be 2 dollars a day. It is discouraging that a great majority of the mentioned category lives with funds that are far less even from 1 dollar a day.
However, what is the most discouraging are the following facts. If all Europeans gave up ice-cream and redirected the funds to the needs of the poor, Europe would have not one hungry inhabitant. If all countries in the world reduced the military budget for only 5 %, the problem of hunger would be solved the world over. Also, if every arable land was used for growing some cereals instead of tobacco and plants of which narcotics are made, the problem of hunger would be resolved.
