Make Poverty History
More than 1 billion people around the world live in abject poverty on less than $1 a day. It doesn’t have to be this way.
Make Poverty History is a global call to action to end the injustice of poverty. It is the largest anti-poverty movement in history.
In Australia, Make Poverty History is a coalition of more than 60 aid agencies, community groups and religious organisations. The coalition is calling on all political parties to achieve the Millennium Development Goals by:
- Increasing Australia's aid and ensuring it is used effectively
- Making trade fair
- Dropping the debts of poor countries
- Helping poor countries keep their governments accountable
- Tackling climate change in developing countries
Make Poverty History needs your voice. Join the millions of people in Australia and around the world who are taking action to Make Poverty History.
