Take action with us throughout the MAKEPOVERTYHISTORY Roadtrip.
Whether you're coming on the Roadtrip or not, we'll have heaps of ways for you to get involved. Whether it is signing our pledge (more info coming soon!), attending our events, or joining us in Canberra, you'll be able to take action and support the movement to MAKEPOVERTYHISTORY.
On the ZEROSEVEN Roadtrip in 2007, we spoke to more than 50,000 people, while some 11 million heard about us nationwide through the media. This time around, we're aiming even bigger, and we need your help to do it. Through our actions in 2007, the Government committed to raising Australia's foreign aid levels to 0.5% of GNI by 2015. It was the single biggest increase in Australia's aid budget ever seen, and will amount in hundreds of thousands of improved lives, especially within our region.
But we still have more to do. Australia has agreed to do its fair share in achieving the Millennium Development Goals, and in achieving them, Australia has also agreed to give 0.7% of our GNI in foreign aid by 2015.
Check back soon to see how you can take action with us to MAKEPOVERTYHISTORY.
