Millennium Promise
Okay kiddo, so have you ever heard of something called the millennium promise? It's a promise that grown-ups made to help make the world a better place.
You know how sometimes people in some parts of the world don't have enough food, clean water or medicine to stay healthy? Well, millennium promise is a promise to try and fix that.
The promise was made in the year 2000 by lots of grown-up leaders from different countries. They promised to work really hard to make sure that by the year 2015, everyone in the world would have access to things like food, clean water, medicine, and good schools.
To make this happen, the grown-ups came up with something called the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). These were eight goals that focused on helping poor countries improve things like education, health, and the environment.
Some of the goals included things like making sure all kids could go to school, making sure people had clean drinking water and proper sanitation, and helping to reduce the number of people who die from diseases like malaria and HIV/AIDS.
So, over the past 15 years, millions of grown-ups from around the world have been working together to try and achieve these goals. And while they haven't been able to fix everything yet, they have made a lot of progress.
For example, more kids are going to school than ever before, and fewer people are dying from malaria and HIV/AIDS. But there is still more work to be done, and grown-ups are already working to make a new promise called the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) for the next 15 years, which will help continue to make the world a better place for everyone.
