From the Paper:

"The mass media can give the idea that large and longstanding non-governmental organizations, or United Nations agencies, are the main source of relief or development work in poor societies. However, Nigeria's Egbede World Outreach for Saving the Kids provides a reminder of how important quite small, and privately financed projects can be. The charity's main sponsor has been Prince Nosa Okunbor, a member of a family much involved in different kinds of Christian and other Edo activism, alert to the need to invest in children in sub-Saharan Africa, as the only chance for the future."
