    That's why I used the word 'religious' in my post.



    I'm most familiar with the world of Christian Relief work. But I'm quite aware that other faiths, including Judaism and Islam, do quite a bit towards helping the poor, oppressed and destitute in the world.

    What specific social programs are you referring to?
