Model UN - http://www.unausa.org/Page.aspx?pid=508
The United Nations Association, through its humanitarian campaigns, supports the ideals and vital work of the United Nations. In particular, the campaigns strive to provide awareness and raise funds for the UN’s 8 Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). The MDGs, established by the UN as a blueprint to address the developing world’s most pressing needs by 2015, serve as an action plan to eliminate poverty and hunger; afford universal access to primary education; ensure gender equity; reduce child mortality; increase maternal health; combat HIV/AIDS, malaria, and other diseases; promote environmental sustainability; and encourage global partnerships for development. UNA’s humanitarian campaigns engage individuals, organizations, and businesses in the United Nations effort to further these aims. |
