International Day for the Eradication of Poverty - 17th October

The International Day for the Eradication of Poverty has been observed every year since 1993, when the General Assembly,  designated this day to promote awareness of the need to eradicate poverty and destitution in all countries, particularly in developing countries - a need that has become a development priority. 

The theme for this year is International Day for the Eradication of Poverty --  “Working together out of poverty” 


So, let's join hands and fight poverty!
