« WHEREVER MEN AND WOMEN ARE CONDEMNED TO LIVE IN EXTREME POVERTY,
HUMAN RIGHTS ARE VIOLATED.
TO COME TOGETHER TO ENSURE THAT THESE RIGHTS BE RESPECTED IS OUR SOLEMN DUTY. »
Father Joseph Wresinski

Every human being has an intrinsic right to a life of dignity, possibility and joy. Extreme poverty robs too many of that life. It is our responsibility to be in partnership with those in extreme poverty and work together to create a better world for all.
