THE END POVERTY CAMPAIGN
This is a most achievable plan to help end extreme global poverty. More than 18 million people die every year from hunger-related causes. Together, we can help end this silent genocide and create a better world for us, as well. Our grassroots public education and advocacy raises support for comprehensive, cost-effective programs. This includes innovative and proven techniques such as free and fair trade, microfinance, and social entrepreneurship. These initiatives already help millions of people lift themselves from poverty.
