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 around 50 UK organisations, including Oxfam, Save the Children and Christian Aid, pioneering initiatives such as UNITAID, which has already raised $500 million 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 made considerably more difficult by the substantial new costs of climate change combined with the deepening financial crisis squeezing traditional aid budgets.

Jon Snow from Channel 4 News introduces our 10-minute film, Can Pay, Should Pay, which is an excellent introduction to our campaign, please watch it now.
