I was recently meeting with Scott Lazerson, the President of Interface Foundation, an amazing organization that helps connect celebrities with great causes.
In the meeting Scott shared with the the Millennium Development Goals that were established by 187 nations during the United Nations Convention of 2000. The goals are as follows:
- Eradicate extreme poverty & hunger
- Achieve universal primary education
- Promote gender equality & empower women
- Reduce child mortality
- Improve maternal health
- Combat HIV/AIDS, malaria & other diseases
- Ensure environmental sustainability
- Develop a global partnership for development
Even though these goals have been in existence for about 9 years, I have never heard of them. However, I am passionate about these goals and hope to do my little part to achieve them with social media.
