Charity organisations are responsible for most of the help extended to the destitute. Each organisation caters to a different group of people.
The Red Cross is a well-known organisation that has centres in countries all over the world. It had its beginnings in a small Italian town in 1859. A fierce battle was taking place then and more than forty thousand people were wounded. The medical services of the army were inadequate. The situation horrified a Swiss businessman who then wrote a book describing the dreadful situation. His book was impetus for the setting up of charity organisations.
Today, countries emulate the workings of the Red Cross. They carry out fund raising activities to help children who cannot receive an education or victims of natural disasters. Both the young and old contribute willingly to these organisations. In fact, without these charity organisations, millions of people around the world perish because of poverty or natural disasters.
In India, a compassionate woman started PUSS (Palli Unnayan Sevi Samiti). Supported by social workers and teachers, she has helped hundreds of children receive a proper eduction. Without her help, the literacy rate in India would be much lower than what it is today.
Charity organisations are crucial today. They cannot function without the benevolent people who help to run these organisations.
The Red Cross was first set up to help ______.
A.injured soldiers         
B.sick children  
C.children with no education          
D.victims of natural disasters
