If we act now with realism and foresight, if we show courage, if we think globally and allocate our resources accordingly, we can give our children a more peaceful and equitable world. One where suffering will be reduced. Where children everywhere will have a sense of hope. This is not just a dream. It is our responsibility.
Poverty is hunger.
Poverty is lack of shelter. Poverty is being ill and not having access to a doctor. Poverty is not being able to go to school or to read. Poverty is not having a job, in fear of what tomorrow might bring. Poverty is losing a child brought about by unclean water.
