Faith and Global Hunger Series

Faith and Global Hunger Series from Day1

A 65th Anniversary media initiative of Day1, in collaboration with the United Nations Millennium Campaign and partners.

Special capstone speaker: President Jimmy Carter, Sept. 12, 2010

In this special Day1 series, five prominent leaders link Christian faith to the challenge of global hunger.  They report great news: The U.N. Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) initiative, a comprehensive global development effort by 189 world nations, is showing powerful gains, reducing poverty, hunger, and disease while improving access to primary education and fairness for women and girls. 

In a special Sept. 12 series capstone broadcast, President Jimmy Carter discusses his Christian faith in relation to our obligations to pursue justice for the world's poorest.  All five series speakers encourage listeners to take action to help the world's poor by supporting the MDGs.

President Carter's address airs on the eve of the global Millennium Development Goals Review Summit Sept. 20-22 at the United Nations, where the world community will review MDG progress and make financial pledges to back the MDG program.
