Want to show your support for the Millenium Development Goals? Print this template out, customize it with your company/organization's name, and post it in your office.

This template is being featured in an upcoming issue of the Entrepreneurs' Organization monthly newsletter with the goal of getting other entrepreneurial business owners to post the MDGs in their offices.

We are also starting a campaign through the Anti-Poverty Campaign to mail framed versions of this sheet to the U.S. Senators and to all the members of EO (www.eonetwork.org) and YPO (www.ypo.org). My hope is to get many other business owners displaying the goals in their workplace.

The goals are:

1. Eradicate extreme poverty and hunger - Reduce by half the proportion of people living on less than one U.S. dollar a day. - Reduce by half the proportion of people who suffer from hunger. - Increase the amount of food for those who suffer from hunger.
2. Achieve universal primary education - Ensure that all boys and girls complete a full course of primary schooling. - Increased enrollment must be accompanied by efforts to ensure that all children remain in school and receive a high-quality education
3. Promote gender equality and empower women - Eliminate gender disparity in primary and secondary education at all levels by 2015.
4. Reduce child mortality - Reduce the mortality rate among children under five by two thirds.
5. Improve maternal health - Reduce by three quarters the maternal mortality ratio.
6. Combat HIV/AIDS, malaria, and other diseases - Halt and begin to reverse the spread of HIV/AIDS. - Halt and begin to reverse the incidence of malaria and other major diseases.
7. Ensure environmental sustainability - Integrate the principles of sustainable development into country policies and programs; reverse loss of environmental resources. - Reduce by half the proportion of people without sustainable access to safe drinking water - Achieve significant improvement in lives of at least 100 million slum dwellers
8. Develop a global partnership for development - Develop further an open trading and financial system that is rule-based, predictable and non-discriminatory including a commitment to good governance, development and poverty reduction—nationally and internationally. - Address the least developed countries’ special needs.
