HOW DO YOU END
EXTREME POVERTY?
To make lasting change in any one sphere of
development, we must improve them all.
The Millennium Villages are proving that, by fighting poverty at the village level
through community-led development, rural Africa can achieve the Millennium
Development Goals — global targets for reducing extreme poverty and hunger by
half and improving education, health, gender equality and environmental sustainability
— by 2015 and escape the extreme poverty that traps hundreds of millions
of people throughout the continent.
The Millennium Villages project addresses the root causes of extreme poverty
through a holistic, community-led approach to sustainable development. To meet
the many different challenges each region faces, the villages use multiple, synergistic
tools such as: community health workers, diversified local food production,
commercial farming, malaria control, piped water, solar electricity and internet
connectivity, to name a few.
Today, 500,000 people in 14 different sites in 10 countries are part of the project
and we continue to see tremendous success across village sites.
The Millennium Villages project is grateful to Bill and Sue Gross
for their enduring generosity and support.
