On this day, the UN encourages new initiatives for poverty eradication. The day serves as a reminder to governments to respect their commitments to international agreements. Events are held all over the world to promote the importance of solidarity. These events include presentations, seminars, conferences, and roundtable discussions. Many of these events also focus on how to combat poverty.
To participate:
Think about what solidarity means to you and why it’s so important.
Donate to a relief organization that helps lift people out of poverty.
Find ways to help the poor in your community.
If you have much, think of things you can donate to those who don’t have a lot.
Find like-minded people in your community who also want to help those in need.
