Millennium Development Goals

St. Margaret’s Episcopal School has aligned the Celebrating Community effort with the Episcopal Church’s focus on the United Nations Millennium Development Goals to end poverty and hunger by 2015.We’re focusing on these goals because the world has collectively defined these issues as the most urgent we face across the globe, and that progress can be made to reach these goals in all corners of the world, near and far, in our own communities.  The eight goals are: 1) end hunger, 2) universal education, 3) gender equity, 4) child health, 5) maternal health, 6) combat HIV/AIDS, 7) environmental sustainability, 7) global partnership.  For more information on the MDGs visit: www.globalgood.org www.endpoverty2015.org
