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!!
