IS YOUR PENSION CRIPPLING POOR COUNTRIES?
The World Bank Boycott
Campaign asks people not to
invest in World Bank Bonds, which
they may be doing
without knowing,
through their pension
funds or savings
accounts. The World
Bank gives loans to
developing nations for
certain projects which
are causing major
environmental damage,
as well as crippling
these countries
with huge debt payments
which they
cannot afford.

In Zambia, where 20% of the
population is HIV positive, the
government spends only $17 per
person on health care, while
spending $30 per person on debt
payments.
