A society free of Poverty, injustice, inequality and inequity, where all people enjoy their human rights and live with dignity.
UAHD exists to work with poor and excluded people to eradicate extreme poverty, injustice and inequity. It supports networks, alliances, associations of the poor and marginalized people, and social movements to achieve these mission objectives.
