Although it would be nice, we can't expect the government to step in and end poverty. We need to each do our part to make a difference. There are millions out there living without the things many of us take for granted, everyone needs to help. That doesn't necessarily mean you need to spend money. If your budgets tight you can always donate blankets, your time, food, etc. Today is about building awareness and taking action, even the little things you do bring help to someone who needs it. I work for a non-profit organization that provides computers, information, training, and community outreach to those in poverty. We try to give people the resources they need to succeed in the workforce and start ending the cycle of poverty in the US and around the world.

While I”™m not an economist, I have to agree that funds ”“ internationally and domestically ”“ are often misdirected and not always used most effectually. I work for an organization called Millennium Promise, dedicated to achieving the eight Millennium Development Goals in sub-Saharan Africa by giving rural communities self-sustainable. If you are looking for more information on global poverty, including how our generation can achieve the Millennium Development Goals and put an end to extreme poverty, hunger and preventable disease, you should check us out.
