Find out more about global issues and how you can help children in poor countries
We are closer to people in poor countries than ever before. Many of the problems that affect us all - conflict, crime, refugees, drugs and diseases – are caused or made worse by the poverty that affects people in poor countries. Getting rid of poverty will make the world better for everybody, rich and poor. So it’s not just a good idea, it is in our own interest!
NEW: LINKING CHILDREN AROUND THE WORLD
Our Global School Partnerships scheme helps kids from the UK and developing countries to learn about how these issues affect us all. Watch our video, read the feature to find out more, or view our photo-gallery on Flickr
