1. End poverty in all its forms everywhere.
This is one of
the most ambitious goals. It includes a target of having no one living
in extreme poverty — less than $1.25 a day — anywhere in the world by
the year 2030. *
Think about that.
There are people in this world trying to survive on less than $456.25 a year, and all the UN wants to do is create a global space where people get to earn AT LEAST that amount.
Asking yourself what you can do to help the UN reach their goal?
On a National level: Help that friend get that job. Direct people to job skills programs. Volunteer your time or money to homeless shelters that actively assist the homeless back into the workforce.
On a International level: Look into micro loan programs like http://www.kiva.org/ where something like $25 can assist a person become monetarily independent through hard work and a little capital.
