"Like slavery and apartheid, poverty is not natural. It is man-made and can be
overcome and eradicated by the actions of human beings."

CampaignSpeak out against poverty

If we want a world where people have enough to eat, a decent standard of living and their dignity and independence, it is time to take action. Work with us for greater justice and an end to systems that make people poor.

There are many ways you can help us campaign - from taking part in events, to writing letters to the government, to speakingin your community on the issues. We can all be the change we wish to see.

‘I encourage you in your advocacy for total debt cancellation for poor countries because, frankly, it is a scandal that we are forced to choose between basic health and education for our people and repaying historical debt.'
President Mkapa of Tanzania, 2005
