"In the past few decades, more than 1 billion people have moved out of extreme #poverty, child deaths have been cut by more than half, and we’ve narrowed the #gender gap in primary #education. These improvements didn’t happen by accident; they happened because of #action — from #governments, #businesses, civil society groups, individuals, and the @UnitedNations. As we look to 2017, we need to continue to act — and act like the world depends on it. Because it does.” Read this 2017 letter from Kathy Calvin, #UNFoundation’s President and CEO. Link in bio.
