Every year on February 20th, the world observes World Day of Social Justice, a day dedicated to promoting equity and opportunity for all. This year's theme, "Achieving Social Justice through Formal Employment," resonates deeply with Better World Charity, as we recognize the crucial role decent work plays in building a more just and sustainable world.
At Better World Charity, we believe that social justice is not a distant aspiration, but a tangible goal achievable through collective action and unwavering commitment. This aligns perfectly with the vision of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), a blueprint for a better future for people and the planet.
The SDGs encompass 17 interconnected goals, from eradicating poverty and hunger to ensuring quality education and gender equality. Social justice is woven into the fabric of each SDG, as it is the foundation for a world where everyone has the opportunity to thrive.
Through our various initiatives, Better World Charity directly contributes to several SDGs that promote social justice, including:
- SDG 1: No Poverty: We empower communities through microfinance programs, enabling individuals to create sustainable livelihoods and escape poverty.
- SDG 4: Quality Education: We support educational programs that provide equal access to quality learning opportunities for all, regardless of background or circumstance.
- SDG 8: Decent Work and Economic Growth: We promote skills development and entrepreneurship initiatives, equipping individuals with the tools they need to secure decent work and contribute meaningfully to their communities.
- SDG 10: Reduced Inequalities: We advocate for policies and practices that address systemic inequalities and create a level playing field for all.
On this World Day of Social Justice, we at Better World Charity reaffirm our commitment to working towards a future where everyone has access to the opportunities they deserve. We invite you to join us in this crucial endeavor. Here are some ways you can contribute:
