Five Organizations Aiming At Eradicating World Poverty.

The saying "two heads are better than one" applies to the case of eradicating hunger and poverty. One man is unable to do it alone, hence, people from different areas/backgrounds/knowledges/races/ages and many more, have come together in the hope of winning the fight of poverty eradication. Here are five  organizations, known world wide, for their dedication to ending world poverty.

 1. UNICEF.org: The United Nations Children's Fund is the driving force that helps build a world where the rights of every child are realized. According to UNICEF, 18,000 children die from preventable causes and diseases, and they aim at making that number ZERO!

 2. Feeding America: Formerly known as America's Second Harvest, Feeding America is the nation’s largest domestic hunger-relief charity. Each year, the network provides food assistance to over 25 million low-income earners facing hunger in the United States, including over nine million children and nearly three million seniors. 

3. The Hunger Project: Founded in 1977, The Hunger Project is a non-profit, global, strategic organization that is committed to the sustainable end of world hunger, empowering people to lead lives of self-reliance, meet their own basic needs, and build better futures for their children. 

4. Mercy Corps: Committed since 1979 to alleviate suffering, oppression, and poverty, Mercy Corps works amid disasters, conflicts, chronic poverty and instability to unleash the potential of people who can win against nearly impossible odds.

5.  ONE: ONE is a grassroots campaign and advocacy organization, committed to fight against extreme poverty and preventable disease, particularly in Africa.

It is often nice to have the opportunity to join groups and organizations that have similar goals such as yourself. The aforementioned organizations, along with others, consistently welcome support and assistance from individuals and groups of people willing to help.
