A presentation by Abbie Adams

Global Poverty Project is an international education and advocacy organization working towards the end of extreme poverty by 2030.

HISTORY  The Global Poverty Project was founded by Hugh Evans and Simon Moss in 2008  They started with the belief that extreme poverty could be ended within a generation.  Their mission was to increase the number and effectiveness of people taking action to end extreme poverty. They believe that when an organised, critical mass of individuals in society aspire to the values of Global Citizen, and are organised and equipped they can take meaningful action.

 The Global Poverty Project has three major campaigns

 1.4 Billion Reasons is a multimedia presentation that explains the issues that contribute to extreme poverty, and what we can do about them.  It has been presented to over 200,000 people at more than 2,000 events on five continents about the simple actions they can take to help tackle extreme poverty.

 The End of Polio works with partners to campaign for funding and the political will to eradicate polio forever.  This is achieved through media communications and advocacy.

This campaign has:  Engaged 50,000 participants, across more than 70 countries, sparking millions of conversations about extreme poverty.  Fundraised USD$10 million for more than 90 charities around the world.  Reached 1.9 billion through media, across more than 1,500 pieces.
