4. The funds would be used in training more teachers and equipping them with modern working tools.
5. Health facilities would be funded to have the best equipment that meets globally accepted standards in Medicare.
6. The fund will also target the issue of shelter with plans to provide affordable housing for the poorest members of the community.

8. The provision of basic amenities, eg, water, light, and roads, shall be a cardinal attribute of the fund.
