Could you stand, if your important person dies due to the lack of basic health service?

Could you stand, if your important person dies due to avoidable thing?

No, I could not!

But, there are over 1400 women and girls dies due to the pregnancy and childbirth.

Every day, 4,000 children die of diarrhea caused by dirty water.

if I lose my important person, I cannot stand.

International Society set Millennium Development Goals(MDGs) that shows global development goals that should be achieved by

2015, such as achieving universal access to primary education, halving the number who lives under 1.25$ per day, achieving the universal access to medicine, gender equality, global partnership and so on.

In MDGs, Poor Countries are demanded to put enough budget related with MDGs, and Rich Countries are demanded to show assistants to their effort.

Thanks to MDGs, more 30 million children got to school since 2000. but there are still over 72 million children out of school. although there is some outcome but the progress is too slow.

September of 2010, there will be United Nations Millennium Development Goals Summit.

the leaders from over 100 countries will join it and discuss the outcome of past and future plan for achieving MDGs by 2015.

forward achieving MDGs, Civil Society set STAND UP TAKE ACTION, global action for ending poverty between 17th to 19th. This global action is so unique.
