ONE VOTE "BE A PART OF POVERTY HISOTRY"

Five Achievable Goals in the Fight Against Extreme Poverty

ONE Vote '08 focuses on five achievable goals that are fully costed and proven and can have a rapid impact on the ground.

If the U.S. takes a leading role, in an effective partnership with other donors and poor countries, these cost effective solutions could achieve the following:

5 Achievable Goals

* Save 15,000 lives a day by fighting HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria, three of the world's most devastating diseases.

* Prevent 5.4 million young children from dying each year from poverty-related illnesses and 400,000 women from dying in childbirth each year.

* Provide free access to primary education for 77 million out-of-school children with a special emphasis on girls.

* Improve the living conditions of vulnerable populations by, for example, providing access to clean water for 450 million people and basic sanitation to more than 700 million people.

* Reduce by half the number of people in the world who suffer from hunger, resulting in 300 million "fewer" hungry people each year.
