A new multi-million pound international Lottery programme has opened to target £
72 million in good cause money into poor and marginalised communities around the
world through the UK’s overseas charities.
The Big Lottery Fund’s £72 million International
Programme will fund projects that tackle the causes of deprivation, offering help
to those most in need. The overall aims of the programme have been set in the context
of the Millennium Development Goals: improved education, health, allocation of natural
resources, human rights, and economic status for the most disadvantaged people.
