Champion Europe's Leadership in the Fight Against Extreme Poverty

  • av: ONE (OLD)
  • mottagare: José Manuel Barroso, President of the European Commission

Right now, the European Commission is making a decision that will have tremendous implications for the world's poor: how much of its €1 trillion overall budget will it spend in the fight against extreme poverty for the next 7 years.

We know budgets are tight right now, but we must never forget those who are facing even greater challenges. Overseas aid has already reduced poverty and the EU has played a huge part in making this happen.

For example, thanks to the EU's Development funds more than 9 million children in the developing world have enrolled in primary education and 31 million people have access to clean drinking water.

Help ensure the Commission makes the right decision to further help the world's poorest people. Please sign our petition and show the President of the European Commission, José Manuel Barroso, that the people of Europe support the fight against extreme poverty.

Dear President Barroso,

Don't let Europe's position as a development champion slip: lead the world by increasing spending on effective aid in the next 7-year budget.
