Stand Up Against Poverty

Between 17-19th of September, world leaders will be meeting at the United Nations to talk about the Millennium Development Goals [MDGs]. As they talk, millions of people around the world will be STANDING UP to take action against extreme global poverty. We need you to join us!

Last year, over 173 million people around the globe set a new world record by standing up to demand that world leaders keep their promises to support the MDGs to end poverty. This year, help us break that record and send an even louder message to our governments!

If you organise a STAND UP event in your school or parish, send us some information and pictures of your event so we can tell everyone what you've been doing. Send your email to youth@sciaf.org.uk
