We believe it is time to
stand up and
let our voices be heard about
poverty in the
world.
A child dies every three
seconds as a
result of extreme poverty. In this
world,
in the countries that we live in,
there
is NO REASON for anyone to die from
poverty.
Poverty
is not inevitable. If we have the will to act,
we
can Make Poverty History.

"WHITE BAND
DAYS"
Make Poverty History Canada is
part of an international
campaign active in
over 70 countries. Supporters
worldwide have
been wearing a white band,
speaking with their
political representatives,
and organizing community
events.
Wearing a simple white
band
of any kind shows that you want action to end
poverty!
Three global White Band Days
were chosen
for concerted action. On these days
people
wore the white band to demonstrate that
they
believe that now is the time to eradicate
poverty!
World Day
to Overcome Extreme Poverty
“Together, we
go further”
The
first people to struggle against poverty,
for
themselves and for those close the them,
are
those who live in it. However, struggling alone or
isolated,
people living in poverty become
exhausted.
This is why we are convinced that by
coming together we
will be able to eradicate poverty
and misery. This is the
deep significance of
this day: whoever we are,
we commit and act
against poverty with the persons who live it,
thereby
uniting to make human rights respected.
Let
as many people as possible meet and let those
who
fight daily against poverty speak out so
that we better
understand their lives and
become stronger in our
commitment to eradicate
poverty.
Let
us invite our fellow citizens and our elected
officials
to come and listen, to take note of what
people do to combat this unacceptable poverty that
destroys many adults,
young people and infants,
day after day.
Thankyou for all
who have supported this cause!!
