The Borgen Project works to advocate for policies that address global poverty by meeting with US leaders, mobilizing public support, and educating citizens on these issues. They believe wealthy countries like the US should do more to help the 1 billion people without clean water and 2 billion without sanitation, as poverty can be largely prevented through international cooperation. For a fraction of the military budget, world hunger could be ended and many lives improved. The organization focuses on advocacy over direct aid as it can impact more people through influencing policies that support the poor.

homeless and hunger
Hunger and homelessness are major global problems. An estimated 854 million people worldwide are hungry and over 100 million children are homeless. Hunger is defined as insufficient consumption to support normal growth and health, while food insecurity exists when access to nutritious food is limited or uncertain. Homelessness exacerbates health issues and is often caused or worsened by poverty, disasters, and economic hardship. Organizations worldwide are working on solutions like shelters, food assistance, healthcare, advocacy, and policy reforms to help address the root causes and alleviate the suffering caused by hunger and lack of adequate housing.
Bill Drayton
Bill Drayton founded Ashoka in 1980 to provide funding to social entrepreneurs working to address social problems. As of 2010, Ashoka had sponsored over 2,000 fellows across 73 countries. Many of these fellows went on to start their own social ventures and charitable organizations. Drayton was inspired by experiences in India and figures like Ghandi and Jefferson to pursue social entrepreneurship and change on a large scale. He has received several awards for his work through Ashoka promoting social entrepreneurship globally.

This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

- 8. How did it all begin? Hugh was 14 years old when his innate spirit of a social entrepreneur was shocked into life. On a trip to the Philippines sponsored by World Vision Hugh found himself in a tent on a Manila slum built on a garbage dump called Smokey Mountain. He lived with the family of his host, Sonny Boy. At night, he laid awake watching the cockroaches above him, the idea crystallised that pure chance sees one born into a thriving safe community or for so many others a segment of humanity lacking political means and financial clout to achieve even the basic elements of human dignity.
- 9. The abject property he was exposed in the Manila slum and during the year he spent in India as a 15 year old enabled him to identify the opportunity where he could employ his creativity, direct action, courage and fortitude required to work towards shattering the accepted status quo of the world’s poor. From that trip on he was determined to make a difference to truly change the world and to end the world’s extreme poverty one and for all!
