Eradicate extreme poverty and hunger
- 1. Eradicate Extreme Poverty and Hunger BY: RHEANNA OLIVARES
- 2. Chosen Goal & How it Resonates My chosen goal is “Eradicate Extreme Poverty and Hunger” This goal resonates with me because I grew up in poverty. Coming from my particular background, any cause that aims to eradicate poverty and hunger for those currently suffering is something that I will always stand behind An estimated 795 million people are undernourished, and 90 million children under the age of 5 are undernourished and underweight
- 3. How can this goal be applied locally? Poverty leads to homelessness, and Washington State has a large homeless population. As of 2020, Washington had an estimated 22,923 experiencing homelessness. As of 2021, homelessness has risen by 6.2% in Washington State, and these people continue to suffer from poverty and hunger. While the U.S. saw a growth in the homeless population by 2%, Washington State clearly outpaced the nation’s numbers. It is clear the see that Washington State has a severe issue regarding poverty and hunger, therefore this cause can be directly applied locally to help our growing population of those living in poverty.
- 4. My Personal Contribution More than 1 billion people have been lifted out of extreme poverty since 1990, but there is still work to be done. Personally, I can contribute by donating to foundations such as UNICEF, which are responsible for providing humanitarian and developmental aid to children worldwide. Should I not be able to donate regularly, simply becoming more knowledgeable in the subject and spreading the word can help others take action towards this goal.
- 5. Use of Social Media Social Media has a great impact on influencing communities to strive towards change and making an impact on particular goals. Social media apps such as Instagram and Twitter are home to large digital communities. Finding and joining a community with the same interests in goals as yourself can help spread education and awareness about poverty and hunger and can also help in brainstorming ideas and ways that we can each contribute towards this goal. We can also be continuously updated on organizations that we can join and participate in to help achieve this goal.
