It’s like a tsunami every week. More people die from poverty every year than war. But it doesn’t have to be this way. The resources and the technology exist in the world today to transform the hopes and dreams of an entire generation. At the dawn of the new millennium, leaders from 189 countries – including Singapore – signed the Millennium Declaration, a plan to halve extreme poverty by 2015 and end it altogether by 2025.

Be a part of the global movement to end poverty within one generation! Add your voice to the millions who say “it’s not right that we live in a world where every three seconds a child dies from extreme poverty.
