the Global Poverty Project

Our vision is much like yours: to live in a world without extreme poverty.  
1.4 billion people still live with the equivalent of just US$1.25 a day for all their needs.
 face a lack of opportunity and choice that traps them in a cycle of extreme poverty.

What we want

Our work focuses on five key change goals:

• Better Aid: We want to ensure that foreign aid is targeted towards the achievement of the Millennium Development Goals.

• More Aid: We believe every nation we operate in should work towards investing 0.7% Gross National Income in foreign aid.

• Better Trade: We believe fair and balanced trade relations are important to tackling poverty, and want to see improvements in the multilateral trading position of developing countries.

• More Ethical Trade: We’re working to dramatically increase the market share of ethical traded consumer goods to provide fair wage access to millions.

• Enabling environment: We want to see investment in education, infrastructure and governance because we know this provides an enabling environment for developing countries to work their way out of poverty.
