White Band
The symbol of the international campaign is a simple White Band worn around the wrist, your arm - in fact anywhere you like that it can be seen by everyone!
ANYONE who believes in eradicating poverty should wear the White Band. By wearing one you are part of a unique worldwide effort to work towards ending extreme poverty.
Wear the White Band everywhere, everyday.
Take part in a White Band event! Or wear the bands at work, at school, while travelling, shopping, cooking or socialising or just at home!
Be one of the millions of people globally who agree that world leaders should do more to eradicate poverty now.
Proceeds of the sales of white bands go towards production and transport cost-recovery. Any left-over funds will be put towards existing poverty-alleviating programs of member organisations of MAKEPOVERTYHISTORY.
The white bands produced on behalf of the MAKEPOVERTYHISTORY campaign have been ethically sourced by companies who agree to and comply with International Labour Organisation standards and requirements. This includes the physical working conditions for staff as well as the minimum age of staff and minimum wage and shift lengths. Adherence to environmental standards is also required. The MAKEPOVERTYHISTORY Coalition has been provided with recent reports from the manufacturer, reiterating compliance with ILO standards.
