- more and better aid
A great way to support the campaign is by being an informed advocate for more and better aid. There is heaps of fantastic information available online and we've provided links to some of the best sites. There's even a World Vision PointSeven Facebook Group, which you can join and network with other people committed to 0.7.
CID and other PointSeven group members produce resources for people who care about aid and development to use in their awareness raising work. You can download them for free from our resources page.
