Poverty is not a lack of potential. It is a lack of opportunity.

Every person deserves the chance to live with dignity, build a livelihood and shape their own future. A safe home, economic opportunity and human rights should never be privileges reserved for the few.

This International Day for the Eradication of Poverty ( October 17 ), Microlend Australia calls for a world where everyone has the opportunity to thrive, not just survive.

Together, we can help turn hope into opportunity and opportunity into lasting change.

💚 Stand with Microlend. Help end world poverty.

International Day of Charity on September 5 encourages organisations and individuals to help others. The day also emphasises increasing solidarity and promoting social responsibility.



The UN recognises that volunteering and philanthropic work provides social bonding while creating resilient societies. Giving to those in need helps to alleviate the worst effect of humanitarian crises. The basic necessities of food, clothing, and shelter are provided when others give. These donations also spread a message of humanity to the underprivileged and those surrounded by conflict.

Today, nearly half of the earth’s population lives in poverty. That’s 3 billion people living on less than $2.50 a day. One billion children around the world live in poverty. About 22,000 of these children die each day. Hunger is one of the leading causes of death among the poor. Millions of people throughout the world don’t have access to clean drinking water. Two million children die each year from preventable diseases. Twenty-five percent of all human beings don’t have electricity.

These sobering statistics point to the fact that there are an endless number of needs in our world. While you can’t possibly help everyone, you can do your part by helping someone. The International Day of Charity is a great time to do just that. As the saying goes, “it’s better to give than to receive.”

Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises Day takes place every year on 27 June. Established by the United Nations, it recognises the role that small businesses play in creating jobs, driving innovation, and supporting communities around the world.
At Microlend Australia, we understand the significant impact of encouraging and developing micro businesses as a way of alleviating crippling poverty.
It is often the corner shopkeepers, market traders, family workshops, freelance designers, and growing start-ups whose combined effort underpin local economies and communities - and unless they are given a chance, they often fail to get going.
This day raises awareness of the contributions these enterprises make towards the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, and it calls on governments, banks, corporations and benevolent individuals to give small firms access to the finance, training, and market support they need to thrive.
