Make Poverty History

How You Can Help Defeat World Poverty in Seven Easy StepsThe Make Poverty History coalition and Penguin have joined together in the fight against world poverty to create a brilliantly simple, but life saving book - ‘How You Can Help Defeat Extreme Poverty, in Seven Easy Steps’.The book is aimed at people who think it is wrong that 30,000 children in Africa die of poverty every day, or indeed wrong that for every 1 they receive in Aid they have to pay back 13 in debt. With quotes from everyone from Bono to Nelson Mandela and ideas on how to get involved, readers can quickly engage in the issues and find out what they can do to help - from emailing Tony Blair, to joining the Make Poverty History rally in Edinburgh on July 2nd.The book focuses particularly on the G8 summit as this year the UK government is uniquely positioned to be the driving force for change, and to encourage other countries to follow suit. The meeting of leaders of the 8 most powerful nations (UK, US, France, Italy, Germany, Japan, Canada and Russia) – the G8 – takes place in Scotland in July. The UK also holds the EU presidency, giving Tony Blair unprecedented influence over European policy, just as critical world trade negotiations reach their climax.Richard Curtis from the Make Poverty History campaign said: “The book is a fantastic tool because it gives people practical ways they can make a real difference. 2005 offers such an amazing set of opportunities where we can be the generation that said enough is enough, we won’t stand for 30,000 children dying from preventable reasons.”‘Make Poverty History’ is written by Geraldine Bedell, Observer journalist and author of, most recently, ‘A Handmade House’.Book type: PaperbackPages: 64 ISBN 0141024399 Published by Penguin
