UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon and World Bank Group President Jim Yong Kim urged today (10 Apr) young people globally to start a social movement to end poverty.
During the “Zero Poverty 2030” event at World Bank headquarters in Washington DC, the World Bank president said “everybody wants an opportunity. Everybody wants good education. Everybody wants good health care. Everybody wants a good job and more than anything else, everybody wants a new set of opportunity for their children.”

Jim Yong Kim underlined “it’s going to hard. Even if growth picks up, unless we do things to specifically support poorest we are never going to get to the target.”
He added “every single one of you has to be involved. We all have to change. We are going through a change here at the World Bank Group – it’s very difficult – but we know if are going to be able to meet the aspirations of the poorest we’ve got to step up.
