In the year 2000, heads of 189 nations came together at the United Nations Millennium Summit to commit to work together to end poverty and to build a safer, more prosperous and equitable world for all by 2015. This pledge of theirs gave birth to eight Millennium Development Goals (MDG's).
1. End Hunger
2. Universal Education
3. Gender Equity
4. Child Health
5. Maternal Health
6. Combat HIV / AIDS
7. Environment Sustainability
8. Global Partnership
