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!!
