Make Poverty History Legacy Resources

Make Poverty History - Nelson Mandela on Trafalgar Square In February 2005, Nelson Mandela stood in Trafalgar Square and called on us to be "that great generation" - people determined to bring about an end to poverty and injustice. We accepted that challenge and created a groundswell of action that world leaders could not ignore. Our pressure, along with that of partners all over the world, helped ensure that politicians made new promises.

"Collective work for economic justice beyond Make Poverty History", as agreed at the Make Poverty History Assembly 31 January 2006.
