Description

Our vision is a world without extreme poverty within a generation.

The Global Poverty Project exists to increase the number and effectiveness of people taking action to end extreme poverty.
We have developed 1.4 Billion Reasons, a simple yet ground-breaking presentation, that 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 demonstrates that by making simple changes everyone can be a part of the solution.

Since being launched at the UN High Level Event on the MDGs in September 2008, the Global Poverty Project has:

• Developed the 1.4 Billion Reasons feature slideshow presentation to run between 45 and 90 minutes, in collaboration with a group of advisors.
• Delivered the presentation to more than 20,000 people in Australia, New Zealand, Canada and the USA at more than 100 events since premiering on July 4, 2009 in Melbourne, Australia.
• Activated more than 5,500 people to make a commitment to take action to end extreme poverty.
• Reached more than 15,000,000 people through media coverage in 3 countries.

Today, through firm resolve and dedication, the threat of polio has receded from our shores. Thanks to an effective vacc...

Isle of Man funds polio eradication


World-changing, if I’m honest, is something that I have always aspired to, but thought was outside the realms of possibility for me as an individual. After all, I am only one of 85,000 people who live on an island in the middle of the Irish Sea. I have done some things such as sponsor a child, sign a petition and live of £1 a day for five days for charity, but could I actually change the world?...
