Debt, Disaster, and Corruption: A webinar on Global Debt

Debt, Disaster and Corruption Sponsored by the Office of Public Witness, the Presbyterian Hunger Program, and Presbyterian Disaster Assistance Thursday, November 3 12 PM Eastern Register at: PCUSA.org/globaldebt Around the world, more than 1.2 billion people live in extreme poverty. Approximately 2.7 billion people live on less than $2 a day. Part of the problem is that the world's poorest countries cannot afford to fully fund important social services like health care and education. And in many of those countries, debt is a big reason why. The world's poorest countries pay more money each year in debt than they receive in official aid. And in many cases, debt payments dwarf spending on human needs. Join us for this webinar to gain a basic theological understanding of debt as well as an understanding of global debt systems which keep countries and their citizens in poverty. We will be joined by partners from Puerto Rico and Sri Lanka, who will help us to understand the impacts of debt on their countries' economies, development, disaster response capabilities, and everyday life. The program will take place on Thursday, November 3 at 12 PM ET, and you can register here. You have received this message because you have subscribed to a mailing list of Presbyterian Church USA.
