The Department for International Development
Race Against Poverty
The Department for International Development (DFID) is the part of the UK Government leading the fight against world poverty. We support long-term programmes to help eliminate the underlying causes of poverty and also respond to emergencies, both natural and man-made.
DFID has created an interactive teaching programme called Race Against Poverty to help develop and support a greater understanding of world poverty in an educational context.
Race Against Poverty aims to make the concept of world poverty accessible and meaningful to young people in the UK. It explores the nature of world poverty, and what is being done to tackle it such as supporting economic growth to lift people out of poverty.
This free teaching resource has been developed specifically for 11-13 year olds and 14-16 year olds. It has been designed to adapt easily to your geography, history, citizenship and ICT lesson plans and to support and complement cross-curricular activity across these subjects.
