MDG 1: Eradicate extreme poverty and hunger

Target 1: Halve, between 1990 and 2015, the proportion of people whose income is less than $1 a day.

Target 2: Achieve full and productive employment and decent work for all, including women and young people.

Target 3: Halve, between 1990 and 2015, the proportion of people who suffer from hunger.

How does MDG 1 reflect God's heart and concern?

There are numerous references in the Bible regarding God's concern for the poor.  Click here for a list of verses compiled by Compassion.  In Matthew 25:31-46 Jesus symbolically identifies himself with the poor and needy claiming that whatever we do to help them, we do for him.

Our campaign in Kenya is currently focussing on this MDG.
