Needs are present in every society, but when they exceed the basic level, they elevate to poverty. The vice robs human beings of their most basic rights. food; shelter, clothing, medical care, water, education, and opportunity to work often results in a sense of powerlessness, hopelessness, and inequality. Women and children are the most affected. Touch a Soul (TAS) through the Women of Faith (WOF) believe that service to humanity is service to God and as such it’s the whole duty of man to ensure that human need leverage is kept at bay.
The Bible reveals God's special interest in the poor and His expectations as to how His followers should respond to those who are unable to care for themselves. All human beings bear the image of God and are the recipients of God's blessings and mercy (Luke 6:20).
Psalms 41:1-3 (NKJV) Blessed is he who considers the poor; The LORD will deliver him in time of trouble. The LORD will preserve him and keep him alive, and he will be blessed on the earth; You will not deliver him to the will of his enemies. The LORD will strengthen him on his bed of illness; You will sustain him on his sickbed
