Eradication of Poverty – progress has been made but there’s still a long way to go

Hi all

As I blogged the other day, I’m learning about the Millenium Development Goals, where we’re up to in reaching them and what we can do to help.

This Goal, the first on the list, is close to many of our hearts. If you sponsor a child in a developing country or support mission and relief efforts, this is an issue you’re probably concerned about. The issue is poverty. The first goal of the Millenium Development Goals is to eradicate extreme poverty and hunger. Poverty is something the western world has cared about for a long time and one which many people have tried to eradicate. The great thing about the Millenium Development Goals is that many nations have agreed to work together in a strategic plan to see what can be done, instead of working as individuals.
