Solutions to Inequality
How do Christians help?
Christians believe equality is of vital importance. This is because of the teachings in the Bible and the example of Jesus. (You can read more about this by clicking here.)
Because of this belief and with inequality remaining so prevalent in the world, Christians try to tackle its causes. There are countless examples of individuals who have helped others, alongside a number of charities and organisations. These are dedicated to promoting equality, by providing people with the things that they need to survive, including emergency aid and relief after disasters have occurred.
