In 2000, member countries of the United Nations pledged to create 'a more peaceful, prosperous and just world' and 'to free our fellow men, women and children from the abject and dehumanizing conditions of extreme poverty'. The Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) set clear goals and were instrumental in uniting efforts and boosting development in many countries (By José Graziano da Silva, Jakarta).

Your comments:


The fact is that we can easily see the margin between rich and poor.

We are fooled into believing the statistic that we successfully attained one of the MDGs, ending poverty.

Stop talking statistics and open your eyes to the truth out there and take action!
