Jubilee 2000 coalition:

During the summer, Siyua Le'lo Gvulot, started collaborating with two of Israel's leading environmental organizations, Peula Yeruka and Megama Yeruka, in creating a first-of-its-kind Israeli coalition, supporting a global struggle to rid developing countries of their enormous debts.

In doing so, we joined Jubilee 2000, an international movement, calling for cancellation of the unpayable debt of the world's poorest countries by the end of the year 2000, under a fair and transparent process.

According to the latest UN estimates, the debts crisis is causing the actual death of about 19,000 children every day.  The poorest countries of the world are overwhelmed with debts they would never be able to pay back, causing as a result, strangled economies, wide spread and deepening poverty, with no chance for any future economical growth.
