The MDG PROJECT launched Alice’s career as an illustrator. The project included eight original posters along with discussion points for prompting conversations about making the Millennium Development Goals global issues more personal. TAP the images below to view the discussion points.

Overcome Extreme Hunger + Poverty

Over a billion people in the world

live on or below the

international poverty line of

one dollar a day.

Poverty leads to hunger.

Fair wages feed families.

Unleash Potential, Educate Children

When children learn they

generate creative energy

and a brighter future.

Illuminate minds.

Educate ALL children.

Advocate for Equality + Empower Women

There is harmony when

differences unite.

Integration requires

accepting diversity and

empowering others.

Raise your voice.

Insist on equality.

End Child Mortality

A child's first month of life

is its most vulnerable,

especially for the marginalized.

Where you live

shouldn't determine if you live.

Ensure that every child thrives.

Embrace Maternal Health

Maternal health requires

adequate health service,

equipment, supplies and

skilled health care providers.

Mothers are essential.

Support them.

Defy Diseases

Diseases can be managed,

if not eradicated entirely.

Overcoming the stigma and

isolation of disease

requires education and

caring communities.

Defy diseases.

Restore hope.

Cherish the Earth, Air + Water

The sentinels are

telling us something.

We have but one world.

Live in it mindfully.

Partner for Fair Markets + Development

Market transparency and

access to technology

open the global circle.

Scarcity is overcome

with abundance.

Support developing countries.

millennium development goals

If you’re unfamiliar with them, the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) were established by the United Nations in 2000 with a completion date set for 2015. While significant progress was made towards accomplishing the goals, their issues continue to need our attention and support.
