Poverty/World Development
Poverty/World Development
Our generation faces the challenge to eradicate extreme poverty. The U.N. Millennium Development Goals define basic human rights: every person's right to food, shelter, health and education. Education is a fundamental human right and essential for the exercise of all other human rights. Education promotes individual freedom and empowerment, yet millions of children and adults remain deprived of educational opportunities.
Dr. Paul Farmer, co-founder of Partners in Health, defines health as an integral and indivisible part of human rights and social justice. Poverty and a lack of access to health care often go hand in hand.
