Background
Global poverty is a big issue for me because it is at the root of so much disease, war, and underdevelopment and yet it is entirely addressable. We can eradicate global poverty in our lifetimes. I want to use this site to let young people know they have a critical role to play from raising money to raising awareness to taking action.
