The Global Poverty Project Comes to SUNY Oneonta

The topic of global poverty will be examined in Oneonta on Wednesday night as The Global Poverty Project will give a multimedia presentation titled "1.4 Billion Reasons" at 7 p.m. in Lecture Hall 1 of the SUNY Oneonta's Instructional Resource Center.

The Global Poverty Project is a nonprofit organization with the mission of increasing the number and effectiveness of people taking action to see an end to extreme poverty. The Global Poverty Project works in partnership with charities, community groups and organizations across the country.

Four Global Poverty Project members will visit SUNY Oneonta to present “1.4 Billion Reasons,” which explains the facts of extreme poverty and provides audiences with the information and tools they need to take effective action against it. This event is part of “Through Each of Our Voices: Narratives on Diversity, Inclusion and Community,” a yearlong series of activities supported by an Explorations in Diversity and Academic Excellence grant from the State University of New York’s Office of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion.
