About the 1.4 Billion Reasons presentation

Created to engage and inspire everyday people to join the movement to end extreme poverty, the 1.4 Billion Reasons presentation is an interactive, thought-provoking live multimedia presentation that explores five questions:

  • What is extreme poverty?
  • Can we do anything about it?
  • What are the barriers to ending extreme poverty?
  • Why should we care?
  • What can we do?

Based on leading research, and endorsed by development and economics experts, the 30 minute 1.4 Billion Reasons presentation is now available to be presented in your workplace.

The benefits of engaging your workplace

The workplace version of the Presentation has been specifically designed to enable businesses to:

  • Engage staff with corporate responsibility initiatives such as workplace giving or volunteer day programs
  • Create a forum for invigorating conversations with your staff about the issue of poverty and the role your business and staff can play in its elimination
  • Inspire staff to engage with social responsibility concepts and development issues
  • Demonstrate a commitment to Corporate Social Responsibility, and empower their staff and stakeholders to support development initiatives.

We will also equip them with the tools they need to take effective action, and outline simple and everyday actions they can take.


"The 1.4 Billion Reasons workplace presentation has the potential to inspire much of corporate Australia to take action, for the first time, to end extreme poverty. If we all do our bit, our generation can actually fix it." - Simon McKeon, 2011 Australian of the Year & Executive Chairman of Macquarie Bank, Melbourne
