Care2 Action Alert End Poverty Through Education, Health Protection, Malaria & Microfinance

People in the poorest parts of our world struggle daily against hunger and poverty, but much of this is preventable. The trick is that we cannot depend on one solution.

Many factors drag people into poverty, so we have to take a multifaceted approach to help people escape it >>

Here are the four key areas that need to be addressed in developing countries:

1. Malaria: Women need to learn how to protect themselves and their families from this disease that kills more than 1 million people each year.
2. Health Protection: Low-cost health products, micro-insurance and health savings plans can help prevent families from being destroyed by minor illnesses.
3. Microfinance: With small loans, women can raise animals and plant gardens, creating sustainable businesses.
4. Education: Learning about family planning, health and business empowers women to secure their futures.

These main factors perpetuate the cycle of poverty and we need to tackle them all in order to break the cycle. Urge President Obama to include these four things in any U.S. foreign aid program From Care2
