People pledge to remove poverty
About 86, 179 people across schools, labour camps, banks, private sector, NGOs and corporate organisations in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Fujairah and Al Ain stood up and pledged yesterday against poverty and inequality.
They joined Millennium Development Goals (MDG) of the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) for the ‘Stand Up and Speak Out’ campaign in the four emirates, joining millions in urging their governments to remove poverty. The UN recognises October 17 as World Poverty Eradication Day.
Dr Khaled Alloush, UNDP Resident Representative and UN Resident Coordinator in the UAE, said, “In the UAE, many initiatives have been taken to reduce poverty globally. The Dubai Cares campaign is an exemplary campaign and this is an effort we appreciate.” He also lauded the role of Princess Haya bint Al Hussein, UN Goodwill Ambassador and Chairperson of the International Humanitarian City, and wife of His Highness Shaikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai.
