In the past five rounds, Millennium Alliance has proved itself as a more assertive and coordinated social enterprise platform, forging diverse and inclusive representations of partners that make it possible to take advantage of synergies, while promoting social enterprises and mutual learning. MA now after five rounds with 114 proven and scaled innovations has marked its presence in 11 countries and is impacting lives of 07 million BoP across the sectors and regions globally. MA is well poised to voice and support a stronger place for social enterprises in public policy and actions at all levels including its possible inclusion in various government policies, programs and schemes to maximize its benefit at the last mile. MA’s endeavor here is to augment support for social enterprises, as they are driving economic growth while achieving the Sustainable Development Goals. The MA has also taken a leading role in encouraging global cooperation in social enterprise support, by acting as an innovation technology donor and a market convener by fostering knowledge exchange. MA strongly feel that public funding should continue to be directed to early-stage social enterprises and also be used to mobilize private capital, through investments and de-risking of social enterprise funding. The MA platform as a program has been addressing the concerns of capacity building, financing, networking and mentoring needs of social enterprises. I urge you all to take a look at the entire portfolio of MA in this booklet and contribute to the creation of social good and extend help for impacting lives at the mile.

  • Hell - Another Great Deception

    Hell - Another Great Deception

    Hell - Another Great Deception (Copyright ©1truth1law.com 2015) The existence of a literal place called “hell,” where sinners suffer various forms of torment forever, has been ingrained in the minds of people for centuries and, in most cases, those who hold this belief accept it without much thought or study. Religious authorities have used this doctrine to control and manipulate their adherents by instilling fear and blind obedience in them. After all, who wants to be tormented for eternity? It’s better to listen to your church’s directives than turn your back on that authority and end up in hell as a result. Although it is not always stated in exactly these terms, a religious organization can make implications to this effect and its followers will accept and believe the lie. One of the problems associated with this false teaching is that it pictures Almighty God as an unjust and cruel tyrant who seems to enjoy seeing people suffer. In reality, it is “the god of this present evil age,” who gets satisfaction from the misfortunes of others, Grace to you and peace from God the Father and our Lord Jesus Christ, who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us from this present evil age… (Gal. 1:3-4a; NKJV used throughout unless otherwise stated; emphasis added). But even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing, whose minds the god of the age (Satan) has blinded … (2Cor. 4:3-4; Ed. notes in parenthesis; emphasis added). Those who see you (Satan) will gaze at you, and consider you, saying: ‘Is this this man (Satan when he is judged) who made the earth tremble (cf.

Instant rice porridge mix remained stable and acceptable for 9 and 12 months in PP and MP packaging materials under ambient temperature conditions. Irrespective of packaging materials and the storage period, porridge mixes get reconstituted in hot water within 1 minute.
