One billion and 400 million people continue to live in extreme poverty. The mere idea of 1.4 billion impoverished people can seem like an insurmountable situation. It is not. Significant progress has been made already but more needs to be done to achieve the Eight Millennium Development Goals by 2015. The global poverty project is catalysing the global movement to end extreme poverty. Through thought provoking presentations, audiences will be challenged to pledge simple changes to their lifestyles that will in turn, help end the poverty cycle. A simple yet ground-breaking presentation is travelling the world, inspiring and empowering audiences in its path. Based on leading research the 90 minute presentation clearly articulates the facts of extreme poverty and how by making simple changes everyone can be a part of the solution. Compelling and challenging, the presentation will move audiences to take action and become a part of the movement to end extreme poverty.
