StoPoverty! Malta Activities

Forty Maltese NGOs have teamed up to raise awareness on the problem of poverty and the Millennium Development Goals in view of the UN General Assembly to be held next week. This network organised its first activity on the 1st July and will again be organising a number of activities next Saturday 10th September.

In the manifesto shown on its web site, StoPoverty declares that:
“The current year gives us a concrete opportunity to test the political will of the world leaders who pledged their commitment towards initiatives put forward in the Millennium Declaration adopted in September 2000.”

Events on Saturday will be held in various localities around Malta and Gozo. This includes petition signing in Valletta, Victoria (Gozo) and Marsalforn, a peaceful protest march held in the evening in Sliema, an inter-faith activity held in Sliema and a party in Paceville.
