STAND UP AGAINST POVERTY

On October 16, 2006, Stand Up and Be Counted.

STAND UP AGAINST POVERTY!

The Pledge

We will spare no effort to free our fellow men, women and children from the abject and dehumanizing conditions of extreme poverty, to which more than a billion of them are currently subjected. We are committed to making the right to development a reality for everyone and to freeing the entire human race from want. We resolve, therefore, to create an environment – at the national and global levels alike- which is conducive to development and to the elimination of poverty.
