become a campaigner
are you keen to help end global poverty, but don’t know where to start?
Across the UK, there are people just like you who care about people living in poverty around the world. Join our network of volunteer campaigners to use your voice and help influence political decisions that will bring an end to poverty.
While ending global poverty might appear to be too big a problem for us as individuals to fix, many of the solutions to improve global health, nutrition, and education are within our reach. What’s missing is the political will to improve policies and invest the resources that are needed to achieve a fairer world.

take your first action in the fight against poverty
Today, almost 700 million people live in extreme poverty – defined as living on less than $2.15 per day – mostly in sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia. However, poverty is also about quality of life, not just a lack of money. According to the 2024 Global Multidimensional Poverty Index, 1.1 billion people (over half of whom are children) live in “multidimensional poverty”, lacking access to things like education, healthcare, nutrition, and clean water and sanitation.
Progress at reducing poverty over recent decades has stalled amid low growth, setbacks due to COVID-19, and increased insecurity and conflict.
Back in 1970, the United Nations set a target for wealthy ‘donor’ nations to provide Official Development Assistance (ODA) to poorer ‘developing’ countries – 0.7% of their Gross National Income (GNI). As one of the world’s richest countries, the United Kingdom has a moral responsibility to help combat global poverty, including through reaching the 0.7% target. Yet in February 2025, the UK Government announced a reduction of its ODA budget to just 0.3% of GNI, to help fund increased military spending.
As well as providing ‘aid’ through ODA, the UK must ensure that the international development programmes it funds aim to bring about a more just, fair and equal global community, which allows every individual, wherever they are born or live, to lead a healthy, happy and fulfilled life.
