WHAT ARE THEY
The eight Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) – which range from halving extreme poverty to halting the spread of HIV/AIDS and providing universal primary education, all by the target date of 2015 – form a blueprint agreed to by all the world’s countries and all the world’s leading development institutions
EIGHT DIFFERENT GOALS…

CONSIDER (ABOUT BIRTH)
More than 350,000 women die annually from complications during pregnancy or childbirth, almost all of them — 99 per cent — in developing countries.
The maternal mortality rate is declining only slowly, even though the vast majority of deaths are avoidable.
In sub-Saharan Africa, a woman’s maternal mortality risk is 1 in 30, compared to 1 in 5,600 in developed regions.
Every year, more than 1 million children are left motherless. Children who have lost their mothers are up to 10 times more likely to die prematurely than those who have not.
So with eight different goals do you think we will struggle and do you think it is possible to accomplish?
