Sustainable Development Goals 1 and 2
WWP TARGET:
About one in 6 children live below the poverty line, by 2030 less than 1% will be.
ACHIEVING OUR TARGET
MEANS THAT:
Our children can thrive because none are hungry at school or cold at home. They can afford to participate in social, artistic, cultural and sporting activity, and none of our children are hungry.
The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic reversed the steady progress of poverty reduction over the past 25 years. This unprecedented reversal is being further exacerbated by rising inflation and the impacts of the war in Ukraine.
