Be part of the ONE (SINGAPORE) countdown clock.

To Stand Up just submit a picture of yourself holding a number 0-9. You will become the countdown to 2015. The ONE (SINGAPORE) countdown clock will show world leaders exactly how long they have left - person by person, second by second, one by one - to Make Poverty History.

You can do this right now at www.standup.sg.

Stand Up and Take Action Against Poverty is an international event co-organised by the UN Millennium Campaign and the Global Call to Action Against Poverty. We hope for ONE percent of the world population to Stand Up and call for a world without poverty. As Nelson Mandela says: 'like slavery and apartheid, poverty is not natural. It is man-made and it can be overcome and eradicated by the actions of human beings.'

Listen to Nelson! Please visit www.standup.sg and add your photo!

You’ll be in distinguished company. A number of celebrities are also Standing Up, including Bono and Will.i.am in the USA. Go to www.standup.sg/clock and click on 'people who've stood up' to see why local celebrities like Vernetta Lopez, Royston Tan, Nadya Hutagalung, Sheik Haikel, Andrea de Cruz and Hossan Leong are adding their voices to the movement to Make Poverty History.

It is still true that every 3 seconds a child dies from extreme poverty.

You can help. You can make time for them.
