Stamp Out Poverty campaigns for additional sources of finance to bridge the massive funding gap required to bring the world’s poorest people out of poverty. We are a network of more than 40 UK organisations, including Oxfam, Save the Children, Christian Aid and War on Want, pioneering initiatives such as UNITAID, which has already raised $1 billion for healthcare in developing countries.

Additional, long-term finance is needed to pay for the Millennium Development Goals to provide clean water, healthcare and education to the poorest parts of the world. A situation compounded by the financial crisis squeezing traditional aid budgets.

Stamp Out Poverty is a leading member of the Robin Hood tax campaign. Check out our campaign film written by Richard Curtis and starring Bill Nighy:
