AWARENESS
trade
Something is very wrong with world trade - it's filling the pockets of the rich while ripping off the world's poorest people. Millions of people are stuck in the trade trap. No matter how hard they work, they earn less every year.
debt
The world's most impoverished countries are forced to pay over $100 million EVERY DAY to the rich world in debt repayments, while poverty kills millions of their people. Under pressure from campaigners, the leaders of the world's richest countries have made promises to end the debt crisis - but so far they have taken very little action.
aid
Poverty will not be eradicated without an immediate and major increase in international aid. However, without far-reaching changes in how aid is delivered, it won't achieve maximum benefits. Aid needs to focus better on poor people's needs, supporting poor countries' and communities' own plans and paths out of poverty.
why party against poverty
Cultures throughout the ages have expressed themselves through music and dance, celebrated their beauty and inspired hope, happiness and unity. Today, whatever our culture, music and dance still play the central role they always have by breaking down barriers, feeding our souls and creating a space where we can play with our friends and our dreams!
