Eradicating poverty is not a task of charity, it’s an act of justice and the key to unlocking an enormous human potential. Still, nearly half of the world’s population lives in poverty, and lack of food and clean water is killing thousands every single day of the year. Together, we can feed the hungry, wipe out disease and give everyone in the world a chance to prosper and live a productive and rich life.
Things to do
- Find a Goal 1 charity you want to support. Any donation, big or small, can make a difference!
- Support campaigns collecting items for victims of emergencies. Donate your clothes, food supplies etc. to support those in need.
- Donate what you don’t use. Local charities will give your gently used clothes, books and furniture a new life.
- Poverty still persists in every country. Over 8% of the world population lives in extreme poverty. Lend your voice to the fight against extreme poverty.
