Educators
Creating a more just and peaceful world requires that today's youth develop the knowledge, perspectives and life-skills of responsible global citizens. NetAid offers programs, activities and resources to engage young people in learning and action to help end poverty around the world.
Educators play a central role in the lives of their students, and NetAid is committed to supporting you as you help your students become global citizens. We welcome your support and feedback as we continue to develop our programs for educators and students.
World Hunger
Over 850 million people in the world are undernourished, which is more than three times the entire United States population. Today, the world has the tools, knowledge and resources to fulfill the promise of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) to reduce extreme poverty and hunger by 2015.
