10. Millennium Development Goals
(MDGs)
In 2000, the world leaders gathered at the
Millennium Summit in New York and agreed
on eight Millennium Development Goals. All
of these goals impact upon children.
Although the Goals are for all humankind, they
are primarily about children. Why?

12. Why?
1. Because six of the eight goals relate directly to children.
Meeting the last two will also make critical improvements in
their lives.
2. Because meeting the Goals is most critical for children.
Children are most vulnerable when people lack essentials like
food, water, sanitation and health care. They are the first to
die when basic needs are not met.
3. Because children have rights. Each child is born with the right
to survival, food and nutrition, health and shelter, an
education, and to participation, equality and protection.
4. Because reducing poverty starts with children. Helping
children reach their full potential is also investing in the very
progress of humanity.
