Millenium Development Goals

Meeting

“...We will spare no effort to free our fellow men, women and children from the abject and dehumanizing conditions of extreme poverty, to which more than a billion of them are currently subjected.” - The Millennium Declaration

St. Paul’s most recent outreach efforts are through the Millennium Development Goals to which St. Paul’s is devoting 0.7% of its annual budget. St. Paul’s focus is on the Carpenter Kids Program in Tanzania, and its own on-site recycling program. In addition, St. Paul’s is funding the research stage of a micro-lending project in a sister St. Paul’s parish in Ghana. The Millennium Development Goals, endorsed by the Episcopal Church are eight interrelated targets for the eradication of global poverty:

  • Eradicate extreme poverty and hunger
  • Achieve universal primary education
  • Promote gender equality and empower women
  • Reduce child mortality
  • Improve maternal health
  • Combat HIV/AIDS malaria and other diseases
  • Ensure environmental sustainability
  • Develop a global partnership for development
