Welcome to
Hearts and Minds ®
What if
you could
change the world?
The answer is:
You can!
Help create a sustainable, just,
peaceful and beautiful world!
Why you are important:
Every 5 seconds,
a child dies from poverty-related causes
That’s 17,000 children a day,
6,200,000 every year 1
Now, some very good news:
All the food,
resources and methods
to end this crisis
already exist!
We can:
Reform
foreign aid
Change
policies that subsidize
the wealthy and hurt the poor
Expand
cost effective programs that
already help millions of people
What makes
Hearts and Minds unique?
Thousands of nonprofits work on poverty. Many do very good work.
Still, 820 million 2 people go hungry…
Here’s what’s missing:
Other organizations
help a limited number of people
in limited ways…
– or –
Urge wealthy nations to
help millions more people.
But these groups support
giving billions of dollars directly to
poorly managed governments
and often limited nonprofits…
There is a better way:
Hearts and Minds
Our public education and advocacy program works to help end
extreme poverty quicker and cost effectively:
1
We address
root causes
of extreme
poverty
2
Advocate
giving more
– directly –
to the world’s
poorest
3
Our
comprehensive
platform supports
many proven
methods
You can change the world right now:
Even small actions cause big changes!
And the more you do, the better our world will be…
YOU can take the next step:
