Building a Fairer World

Reducing inequalities is one of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals and focuses on making things fairer for everyone in the world. This tells us that we need to make sure that no one has a hard time in their life. It is important, because if we help someone get the things they need, like food and water they’ll be happy and grateful. For example, not all children in Africa have an education. One-fifth of primary-age children are out of school, and almost 60 percent of youth between the ages of 15 and 17 are not in school, just because they can't afford an education. It is our job to make sure that the world is fair for everyone.
