MAKE POVERTY HISTORY

Over the next year a series of landmark meetings are taking place where world leaders can finally stop 30,000 children dying needlessly every day, just because they’re poor. Make your voice heard, by visiting the MAKE POVERTY HISTORY website.
 
 
 Together we can help make this year and every year an extraordinary year.

The world produces enough food to ensure every person a healthy and productive life, yet more than 800 million people suffer from chronic malnutrition, while large numbers of others suffer from obesity. The UN’s Millennium Development Goals seek to reduce the percentage of hungry people by half by the year 2015. Considering the plentiful resources available and the terrible consequences of starvation, hunger and malnutrition, it is a very modest commitment. Political leaders of virtually every country have endorsed the goal. But these same leaders are doing very little to build a strategy or to implement required change.

More than a billion people still live on less than US$1 a day
