International children’s art competition ‘we can end poverty’

Inadequate access to water forms a central part of people's poverty, affecting their basic needs, health, food security and basic livelihoods. Improving the access of poor people to water has the potential to make a major contribution towards poverty eradication. As part of the activities to celebrate the International Day for the Eradication of Poverty and the end of the First Decade for the Eradication of Poverty, the Division for Social Policy and Development at the United Nations invites children from all over the world from age 5 to 15 years to participate in an art competition on the theme ‘We can end poverty’.

The best 6 designs selected by the Panel of Judges will be presented during the commemoration of the Day, on 17 October 2007, and will be issued as stamps of the United Nations Postal Administration. All entries must be sent no later then 30 June 2007.
