1.4 billion reasons. Stop poverty.


1.4 billion people on our planet live in extreme poverty. The Global Poverty Project's mission is to increase the number and effectiveness of people taking action to see an end to extreme poverty.

About the project.

The Global Poverty Project's vision is a world without extreme poverty within a generation. Within the project there have been developed 1.4 Billion Reasons - a simple yet ground-breaking presentation, that is travelling the world, inspiring and empowering audiences in its path.

... so? ...and?

It is recognised that development is a complex field. The focus is on communicating issues and enabling action in the general public. To that end, the policy change objectives are:

  • Aid Quantity;
  • Aid Quality;
  • Global Trade;
  • Equitable Trade;
  • Millennium Development Goals.
How can I be involved?

The Global Poverty Project is not after your money. Instead, it uses the presentation to explain how your everyday actions - in what you learn, say, buy, give and do - can be connected to the ending of extreme poverty. 1.4 Billion Reasons links audience members with leading aid and development organisations, so that each and every one of us can take action to end extreme poverty.
