What Can One Person Do? - The book
What
can one person do? addresses the challenges of living in a
broken and poverty stricken world. It then offers simple and
practical steps for us to make a lasting change.
Global poverty is a challenge for faith, a challenge for activism, and a challenge of will. But these challenges have concrete and achievable objectives: the eight Millennium Development Goals agreed to by the international community at the Millennium Summit in 2000. With small, simple steps individuals and faith communities in America and Europe can join with others around the world to develop civil society, achieve these goals, and end extreme poverty.
In this book, Sabina Alkire and Edmund Newell - with activists Ann Barham, Chole Breyer and Ian Douglas - have shown us that such transformation is possible. In so doing they prove that with faith and clarity of purpose, we can heal a broken world.
