SDG 1 - No Poverty

This week's blog post focuses on poverty

'Nearly half of the world's poor are children - that's 689m young people.'

''Children are our future but the future of this rising generation is in peril. Global leaders must do everything in their power, not only to lift children out of poverty, but to protect, nurture and help them realise their full potential. The most successful anti-poverty movement will be the one that leaves no one behind by ending poverty in all its forms and dimensions, everywhere."
