Inequality harms growth and poverty reduction, as well as the happiness and self-worth of individuals.

SDG Goal 4: Quality Education
The United Nations have reported that the key to a sustainable future and improving people’s lives is quality education for all.
Tremendously, equality between girls and boys in primary education has been accomplished worldwide.
Goal 3: Good Health and Well-being
According to the United Nations more than six million children die before their fifth birthday every year around the world.

However, in England it’s mental health problems that are rapidly increasing and ruining peoples lives.
SDG Goal 2: Zero Hunger
There are 815 million undernourished people in the world today, which is one in nine. An extra two billion will be added to this figure by 2050 if a change to the global food and agriculture system doesn’t happen.
