INTERNATIONAL DAY FOR THE ERADICATION OF POVERTY

Tomorrow, Friday is globally celebrated as the INTERNATIONAL DAY FOR THE ERADICATION OF POVERTY courtesy the United Nations’ (UN) and the day is observed on October 17 each year since 1993. 

This awareness promotes people’s awareness of the need to eradicate poverty and destitution worldwide, particularly in developing countries.

Picture Speaks.

The 2014 theme recognizes and underscores the demanding challenge of identifying and securing the participation of those experiencing extreme poverty and social exclusion in the “Post-2015 Development Agenda” that will replace the Millennium Development Goals.
