The Project

Steps International is creating a groundbreaking new cross-media project that asks why, in the 21st Century, a billion people still live in poverty.

The films are being commissioned by a group of broadcasting partners. They tackle issues like food security, education, climate change and more.

Short Films

The shorts will challenge our preconceptions about poverty, provoke discussion and action, and become impossible to forget.

Reaching 500 Million People in November 2012

A GROUNDBREAKING CROSS-MEDIA EVENT

Following the unprecedented success of Why Democracy? which reached an estimated 250 million people in 180 countries through 48 broadcasters, Steps International is creating a groundbreaking new cross-media project that asks why, in the 21st Century, a billion people still live in poverty. Using public media the project will help audiences across the world understand what they can do about poverty.

Why Poverty? creates an international partnership with broadcasters, NGOs, institutions and concerned citizens around the world. Broadcasting in late 2012, it is designed to reach the largest possible global audience – using every available platform and a massive outreach campaign.
