End Poverty - Be the Generation

Take Action at
http://www.inmyname.com

In 2000, 189 governments made the historic commitment to half extreme poverty by 2015. We are halfway to the deadline, but poverty still kills 50,000 people every day. We can be the generation that ends poverty. We must act now!

it is a strong video with a strong message, however there are too many charities, and we can only help through charties, however we cannot give to them all, they should merge more so what we do can help a wider range

You are right that there are a lot of charities, but the message of the video is that to truly end poverty, governments must act on their existing promises. Keep giving where you can, but your voice and vote can be stronger than your pocket book when it comes to changing policy so we can really change this injustice.

What a pile of crap!!! Do not by fair trade anything! It is a tax on guilt ridden bleeding hearts. Government can not and should not end poverty it has not worked in the US and will not work anywhere else. Get a job and work your ass off like the rest of us have.

There are no jobs for girls that have to walk 16 miles daily to fetch water, and thus cannot go to school and to be educated...for jobs that don't even exist anyways. Open your eyes.

poverty is a state of mind and a choice.

Movie stars, singers like Bono, Bill Gates, etc. YOU END POVERTY !!! all that wealth you people have you cold end it in a flash, so DO IT !!!

the only way to stop poverty is through education. if we could teach governments how to make succesful countries instead of being selfish, that is when poverty will end. Giving them money may help them for a little while (if the governments don't use it for themselves) but they'll end up exactly in the same place as before. Give a man a fish, he eats for a day...teach a man to fish, he eats for a lifetime

Poverty is the lack of capitalism

My point is, its easy to take a stance on something, however its much more difficult to live for it! The worlds governments have always taken stances and made promises that they dont follow-through on. Let us not do the same! It starts with ME, It starts with YOU, It starts with US! Let us not leave it up to the governments but rather pull together and change the world!

IN OUR NAME!

It is a fact, that most poor ppl living on our streets in the US live better than those in 3rd world countries. yet here we sit on a pious soapbox and say it is too hard and too big a feat to stop something like poverty. You comfort yourselves by saying we are all just dreamers or unrealistic. well i say that YOU are the reason poverty still exists!It is your fault that we have this epidemic. you will learn of that i am sure! Shame on you! my message is simple, yet clear. IN MY NAME!

Our goverment makes a lot of promises each year.But when you look back each year How Many promises have thy actually kept? I think that we can make a difference and we will. But It won't happen over night.These videos are to show you that WE(the world)CAN DO SOMETHING. So IN MY NAME I WILL HELP END POVERTY!

[oshun241983]

Technological advances have been able to perform marvelous tasks for us, but has it been really life changing? It is ironic that a modern, intelligent society as ours has not been able to end hunger and poverty in the world. Every day we are losing precious people because of poverty. It is outrageous that in 2008 people are still struggling to satisfy basic needs for life substance. It is our responsibility to protect each other from suffering and extinction as God's instruments that we are.

End Poverty, arrest the crooked bankers and garnish their ill-gotten money. that would stop poverty and starvation and nobody would miss them at all while they sit in jail.

[Jayray200890]

I completely agree with this video. It is pertinent to aid in ending poverty and 'Being the Generation' that does what none other could do!

[lucidazul]

natesohl, they are talking about extreme poverty in this vid, not welfare poverty. When you talk about bad decisions how many children do you think chose to be born into this? Whereas I agree with your thoughts on foolishness, its clear from your statement that you have never experienced the kind of desperation that these people live in.
