October 17 is the International Day for the Eradication of Poverty. This year, we shall celebrate the role of children and their families in the fight against poverty.
The United Nations are listening. Together with people from all walks of life, we will gather at Rizal Park in Manila to share stories of pain and triumph, renewing our commitment to stop poverty.
ABOUT OCTOBER 17
Children and young people play important roles in the fight against poverty. They provide valuable insights acquired from their personal daily struggles. On October 17 at Rizal Park in Manila, they will share their stories to the entire world and we need your help to make this happen.
October 17 is the International Day for the Eradication of Poverty. The Philippines alongside the United Nations and many other countries commemorate this day to demonstrate how we can work together to respect the human rights and dignity of people living in poverty. Organizations, communities, and individuals from all walks of life gather together at Rizal Park to celebrate successes, encourage each other in the face of challenges, and renew their commitment in helping address poverty.
