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!!
