In 2000, 189 nations came together and made a promise to eradicate extreme poverty, hunger and combat preventable diseases by 2015.

From this alliance the Millennium Declaration, a document outlining eight specific goals to help the world realize this promise, was born.

We had the opportunity to present this video at a benefit for Millennium Promise and Malaria No More, two of the groups working to meet this challenge.

See photos from the benefit.

Another facet of the effort can be seen on the Millennium Promise Flickr page.
