UN Millennium Development Goals

If you haven't heard of the good work that the UN is trying to do you need to.

The UN has developed a list of 8 goals that they wish to see accomplished by the year 2015. The 8 goals are:

  1. Eradicate extreme poverty and hunger
  2. Achieve universal primary education
  3. Promote gender equality and empower women
  4. Reduce child mortality
  5. Improve maternal health
  6. Combat HIV/AIDS, malaria and other diseases
  7. Ensure environmental sustainability
  8. Develop a global partnership for development

Their website outlines each goal and also monitors how these goals are being met. Please check out their site and see how you can be a part of meeting these goals.
