World Vision at the Summit

The 2010 G8 and G20 summits will be held in Ontario, Canada, from June 25th through 27th. World Vision is urging leaders to meet the Millennium Development Goals and existing G8 commitments by increasing the levels of funding, improving health aid coordination and accountability, implementing a global action plan for maternal and child health, and ensuring adequate food and nutrition security for communities. The stage is set: now it is up to world leaders to show they have the resolve to keep their promises.
