International Day of Poverty Eradication

17th October

This is a campaign taking place internationally to make people aware of the Millennium Development goals signed by governments and many other NGOs, FBOs etc in the year 2000. Sadly they have fallen short, although there have been some strides made.

In 2000, world leaders from rich and poor countries alike committed themselves--at the highest political level--to significantly reduce poverty, illiteracy, inequality and disease in poor countries and help achieve the Millennium Development Goals.
