Young or old, male or female, Asia, the Americas, or Africa, all of these groups rank a good education as a top priority in the UN’s MY World survey (which asks people to share what issues are important to them in the future global development agenda).
On Tuesday, January 14, thousands of people from places around the world joined an important conversation in the lead-up to the World Economic Forum in Davos.

As the year comes to a close, the UN Foundation wants to say thank you. Your support makes our work possible. Together we have helped the United Nations improve global health and save lives, promote the rights of girls and women, protect the planet, and much more. While our challenges are great, so are the opportunities to make a difference. We look forward to working with you in 2014.
This year has been an exciting time for our team. As we look back on 2013, we?re counting down the top 10 Facebook posts that our supporters talked about and shared the most.
I am writing this post following the inaugural session in Paris of Social Good Week 2013. The auditorium at the Gaite Lyrique in downtown Paris was filled to capacity with people who define themselves as leaders and innovators in the French Social Good movement.
Today the UN Foundation is grateful for all of our supporters and partners who work with the United Nations to help build a better world.
