This document discusses poverty and social entrepreneurship. It introduces a student group called "Let's Stop Hunger!" and their project on evaluating UNICEF's efforts to curb poverty. UNICEF aims to eradicate poverty by promoting child health and well-being, distributing vaccines to 40% of children in developing countries, increasing literacy, providing nutrition assistance, and advising policymakers. The group concludes that UNICEF takes a comprehensive, multidisciplinary approach to addressing poverty and its root causes.

2. Introduction
O “Poverty is often defined in absolute terms of low income –
less than US$2 a day”- World health Organization
O Out of a world population of 6 billion a staggering 1.29 billion
are living under the terms above
O A social entrepreneur whom we are on the other hand are
defined as “person who establishes an enterprise with the
aim of solving social problems or effecting social change”online dictionary.

3. Rationale
O Poverty is the greatest epidemic in the world, affecting more
than AIDS, or malaria combined.
O However, the most startling paradox is that poverty can be cured
unlike medical conditions such as HIV
“Poverty is NOT AN ACCIDENT.
Like slavery or Arpathied
It is man-made and can be
Removed by the actions of Human-beings”
~Nelson Mondella

4. Rationale
O It is inhumane to witness millions, upon millions suffering and
dying under their unfortunate and most atrocious circumstances
of poverty
O Hence, we as social entrepreneurs would hope to evaluate
measures implemented by an organization such as UNICEF
(below), which aim to curb poverty, to comprehend how such
solutions can benefit the greater good of humanity

5. UNICEF
O Otherwise known as the United Nations Children’s fund, UNICEF
is a United Nations Programme aimed at eradicating poverty by
promoting the health and well-being of children.
O Relying largely on contributions from world-wide governmental
bodies
O In many aspects, UNICEF provides humanitarian relief for
children.

6. Efforts undertaken by UNICEF
O In terms of healthcare, UNICEF distributes immunities and
vaccinations to close to 40% of all children in developing
nations. This is in a bid to ensure that many children would be
able to gain supplies to obtain basic health care, a common
problem encountered due to poverty.

7. Efforts undertaken by UNICEF
O In addition, UNICEF seeks to increase literacy as an integral
measure for personnel empowerment of children living in
poverty to move beyond the poverty line as seen from its
numerous donations to school funds in developing nations
(refer to “education- statistics below)

8. Efforts undertaken by UNICEF
O Economically, UNICEF seeks to conquer malnutrition, a by-
product of poverty within children, by providing donations to
local communities while working with various local communities
and international charitable organizations while ensuring that
children would not get affected by nutrition contamination
through the USI.

9. Efforts undertaken by UNICEF
O In addition, UNICEF disseminates information, conveying
measures and advice to many policy-makers across the globe
to address measures by which children could survive and
thrive, curbing the issue of poverty through Sector-wide
Approaches to Programming (SWAP)

10. Evaluation
O All in all, we have noticed that UNICEF undertakes a
comprehensive and multidisciplinary approach in countering
poverty.
O While UNICEF seeks to provide for the basic well-being and
nourishment of any individual…
O UNICEF addresses this issue in retrospect too, by spreading
awareness of poverty and facilitating measures by which it could
be curbed

11. Conclusion
O In conclusion, our research has proved to be highly
fruitful. While being able to emphasize the impoverished
state of so many across the globe, this research has
better helped us appreciate the significance of various
methods to counter poverty
O Hence, we would like to specially thank google images
for the various photos, the official UNICEF website and
a myraid of other internet sources for the provision of
statistics and information.
