In 2008 we will continue to campaign for significant policy change that improves the lives of people living in extreme poverty. The Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) will remain central to the campaign.

This year, Make Poverty History will particularly focus on improving maternal health (MDG 5) and reducing child mortality (MDG 4) and climate change and development. Climate change seriously threatens the lives and livelihoods of poor people around the world and severely hinders developing countries efforts to reach their objectives of poverty reduction and sustainable development under the United Nations MDGs.

Both of these campaigns will build on the success of the campaign to date and continue to raise awareness of the MDGs throughout the Australian population and inspire action amongst the community and political leaders.

There are many ways you can get involved in these campaigns and have real impact on the lives of people living in poverty. Click below to find out how you can help Make Poverty History.
