International Day for the Eradication of Poverty
The International Day for the Eradication of Poverty began on October 17, 1987, in Paris, France, to honor the people living in extreme poverty. In 1993, the United Nations officially recognized October 17th as a day to renew our awareness of the needs across the world and to work together to eliminate extreme poverty.
