UN Development Goal:
No Poverty
10% of the world survives on less than $1.90 a day
Millions of people lack access to healthcare, education, clean drinking water, electricity, and other human rights. Eradicating poverty requires universal collaboration from local and national institutions. Research shows that the creation of inclusive labor, quality education, and ensuring equal rights for vulnerable are essential for decreasing rates of poverty worldwide.
