Poverty impacts individual and community development. According to the United Nations, current trends indicate approximately 575 million people living in extreme poverty by 2030. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, child poverty has more than doubled in the last year in the U.S. How can we address global poverty and promote individual and community development? Join us for an exploratory discussion about global poverty, its impacts, and how to create just and meaningful opportunities for individuals and community development.
These events are sponsored by The Democracy Commitment at MCC, Global Education and International Services, Department of Anthropology, History, Political Science, and Sociology, and the PEACE Committee.
