About Us
ABOUT THE UNFORGOTTEN
Our Mission
We share the UN's vision of promoting sustainable development in the poorest areas of this planet, as
encoded in the Millennium Development Goals. In particular, we are working towards the goals to: 1)
Eradicate extreme poverty, by helping those whose income is less than $1 US per day, 2) Achieve
universal primary education, and 3) Increase access to safe drinking water.
Our target aid recipients are the hungry mothers and children that eat trash and live in garbage dumps in
the cities of developing countries—The Unforgotten. Our mission is to provide them with clean food
and water, shelter, and a future. We provide microloans to the mothers to start businesses, so that the
families do not become dependent on our aid. We enroll the children in primary school, and free
them of the burden of needing to earn money by selling scraps found in the trash. And we provide
weekly meal supplements, so the mothers and children do not go hungry.
Our Name
The name "The UNforgotten" is intended to have a double meaning. In the one sense, the organization
shall aim to help the poor that have not been forgotten. In another sense, we are concerned that the UN
has been forgotten, as it has not been given the resources needed to address the multiple dimensions
of global poverty. We strive to partner with UN field agencies whenever possible.
How we use your donations
All donated funds go directly to projects. Our charity is managed entirely by volunteers. Our Board of
Directors, including the Executive Director, receive no compensation. Our officers receive no
compensation.
