1.4 billion people
An incomprehensible 1.4 billion people live in extreme poverty – that equates to 1/6th of the global population living on less that US $1.25 - without their access to the necessities of life food, water and shelter.
For this reason the Global Poverty Project is bringing you a ground-breaking and life changing presentation - 1.4 billion reasons
1.4 billion reasons is not after your money. Through disseminating the complexity of poverty the presentation explains how your everyday actions in what you learn, say, buy, give and do can be connected to the ending extreme poverty.

After hearing Hugh Evans speak recently, I was inspired by his passion for ending world poverty and began to realise that it is possible and we can make a difference. I have since been on a three week trip to Ghana, Africa with a team of teachers where we trained and encouraged untrained teachers in a very poor part of Accra. If we want change, we have to something about it. Hugh is doing it, GPP is doing it, I am doing it, we can all do it!

Hugh Evans
Hugh's mission, and the focus of the Global Poverty Project, is to eradicate extreme poverty in the world. Each individual or organisation can have a role in this. BTI sees its role in training teachers and counsellors as critical to making a difference in the world. We believe, as stated by Nelson Mandela that Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world. Without education change is not sustainable. BTI is currently working in the Pacific, particularly Tonga, to train untrained teachers currently working in church schools to fulfill this mandate.
BTI, through Luisa Schroder, will continue to be involved with the Global Poverty Project. To find out more about our involvement and how you can also become involved contact Luisa Schroder
