Philanthropy Connections - Philanthropy Connections. We make connections that enable people to help themselves and each other Philanthropy Connections is a non-profit organisation dedicated to help people in vulnerable situations.
We do that by supporting local organisations who help these people build an independent, dignified life for themselves. We work with local organisations because they know the problems and needs within their communities like no others can. They speak the language, they know the culture and with that they are the ideal helpers. All that they need are the resources and the contacts to find (financial) help from outside. We do that for them, and in doing so enable them to do more and for more people. You can help, through a single donation or by supporting our work as a regular donor.

International Day for the Eradication of Poverty. "The campaign to make poverty history—a central moral challenge of our age—cannot remain a task for the few, it must become a calling for the many. On this International Day for the Eradication of Poverty, I urge everyone to join this struggle. Together, we can make real and sufficient progress towards the end of poverty.
" United Nations Secretary-General, Kofi Annan "Excerpts taken from his message to be delivered on the International Day for the Eradication of Poverty, 17 October 2006". In 1992, the General Assembly, welcoming the fact that certain non-governmental organizations, on the initiative of one of them (the French-based International Movement ATD Fourth World), had, in many States, observed 17 October as World Day for Overcoming Extreme Poverty, declared that date the International Day for the Eradication of Poverty (resolution 47/196 of 22 December).

Highlights Sustainable development remains a distant hope from many developing countries. Poverty and unguided urbanisation are threatening sustainable development. Managing urbanisation and poverty is essential to achieving sustainable development. Abstract Since its emergence in the 1980s, the ideology underpinning sustainable development has become a metaphor for describing human welfare and environmental management. Keywords Developing countries; Sustainable development; Urbanisation; Poverty 1. Global acknowledgement of the need for environmental protection policies in development planning practices led to the emergence and promotion of sustainable development in the 1980s (World Commission on Environment and Development WCED, 1987).

ACOSS Poverty in Australia 2014. Poverty.com - Hunger and World Poverty. Poverty. The threshold at which absolute poverty is defined is considered to be about the same, independent of the person's permanent location or era. On the other hand, relative poverty occurs when a person who lives in a given country does not enjoy a certain minimum level of "living standards" as compared to the rest of the population of that country. Therefore, the threshold at which relative poverty is defined varies from country to another, or from one society to another.[2] Providing basic needs can be restricted by constraints on government's ability to deliver services, such as corruption, tax avoidance, debt and loan conditionalities and by the brain drain of health care and educational professionals. Strategies of increasing income to make basic needs more affordable typically include welfare, economic freedoms and providing financial services.[3] Poverty reduction is still a major issue (or a target) for many international organizations such as the United Nations and the World Bank.
Central African Republic. Coordinates: The Central African Republic (CAR; Sango: Ködörösêse tî Bêafrîka; French: République centrafricaine pronounced: [ʁepyblik sɑ̃tʁafʁikɛn], or Centrafrique [sɑ̃tʀafʁik]) is a landlocked country in Central Africa. It is bordered by Chad to the north, Sudan to the northeast, South Sudan to the east, the Democratic Republic of the Congo and the Republic of the Congo to the south and Cameroon to the west. The CAR covers a land area of about 620,000 square kilometres (240,000 sq mi) and had an estimated population of around 4.7 million as of 2014[update]. Most of the CAR consists of Sudano-Guinean savannas, but the country also includes a Sahelo-Sudanian zone in the north and an equatorial forest zone in the south. Two thirds of the country is within the Ubangi River basin (which flows into the Congo), while the remaining third lies in the basin of the Chari, which flows into Lake Chad.

Plan To Reduce Poverty. There are 2.3 million people living below the poverty line in Australia. Nearly 600,000 of them are children. The Greens are the only party talking about this, and who are willing stand up for vulnerable families with effective ways to help thousands of Australians out of poverty. Our costed plans will cover dental care in Medicare, give jobseekers the support they need to find work, increase affordable housing, keep the costs of healthcare and healthy food down, and more. Piecemeal and inconsistent responses to poverty are inadequate and ineffective approaches.
There is no silver bullet to solve the long term challenge of poverty because the problems of poverty are too widespread and complex. Currently, the underlying contributors to poverty such as affordable housing, food security and access to education and employment are being tackled separately, across different Government departments, and different levels of Government. The Greens will: International Social Justice Commission - The ISJC and the UN. The Salvation Army itself has been an affiliated non-governmental organization with the United Nations since 1947. As one of the founding NGOs, The Salvation Army has held ‘good standing,’ or ‘consultative status,’ at the UN since that year.
The Salvation Army may formally contribute to the work of the UN because of their granted consultative status with the United Nations Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC). This work is done alongside other non-governmental, non-profit, public or voluntary organizations, and faith-based organizations with similar status. ISJC members may participate in meetings of ECOSOC and its subsidiary bodies, including the functional commissions at the United Nations, in accordance with the rules of procedure of those bodies. The Economic and Social Council is a group of UN member countries, or ‘states,’ that assist the General Assembly (the principle organ of the UN) in promoting international economic and social cooperation and development.
Poverty headcount ratio at national poverty lines (% of population) The World Factbook. SDG 1: No poverty. Eradicating poverty in all its forms remains one of the greatest challenges facing humanity. While the number of people living in extreme poverty has dropped by more than half – from 1.9 billion in 1990, to 836 million in 2015 – too many are still struggling for the most basic human needs. Globally, more than 800 million people are still living on less than $1.25 a day; many lacking access to adequate food, clean drinking water and sanitation. Rapid economic growth in countries like China and India has lifted millions out of poverty, but progress has also been uneven. Women are disproportionately more likely to live in poverty than men due to unequal access to paid work, education and property. Progress has also been limited in other regions, such as South Asia and sub-Saharan Africa, which account for 80 percent of the global total of those living in extreme poverty.
This rate is expected to rise due to new threats brought on by climate change, conflict and food insecurity. MDG #1: Poverty (2014) Ending poverty and hunger.

Central African Republic: Amid extreme poverty and state fragility, more robust response needed - Central African Republic. Central African Republic: can it get any worse? The recent crisis in the Central African Republic (CAR) has resulted in violence and abuses against innocent people, and massive displacement. Extreme suffering is widespread in this forgotten corner of the world, but an oft-ignored consequence of this violence and displacement is the negative impact they play on local economies and livelihoods, creating a vicious circle that forces people further and further down the scale of vulnerability.
According to IDMC’s latest report, the ongoing violence and instability resulted in up to half of the country’s population in CAR needing assistance; among them 554,800 internally displaced people (IDPs). In addition, tens of thousands of people, many of them Muslims, have fled in fear for their lives to neighbouring countries. The situation remains volatile. To this day killings, violence against women, torture of civilians, and other human rights violations continue. What is next? Central African Republic - Emergency | Australia for UNHCR.
