OUR VISION

Catalyse the movement to end extreme poverty

90 minute feature slideshow

• Inspired by ‘An Inconvenient Truth’, ‘The End of Poverty’ and ‘The Bottom Billion’, this presentation will be taken around the world to inspire people to act in new ways to end extreme poverty. • The presentation will arm individuals with the tools, knowledge and inspiration to influence governments and take action.

It has to be simple yet sophisticated.

It needs to be accessible and yet scientific.

It needs to tell the story of poverty, as well as the personal stories.

It needs to speak to the cynic, inspiring them at the same time.

It needs to be shocking, compelling and demand action.

In each country, the Global Poverty Project will: • Reach 5,000,000+ through media and publicity, raising awareness of extreme poverty • Educate 20,000+ through presentations, deepening and reframing their understanding of extreme poverty • Engage 5,000+ to take direct action on extreme poverty through action groups and partners

How is this achieved?

• Employment of research team • Establishment of a broad based advisory panel • Partner with National Implementing Partners • Engagement of leading production company
