The real purpose of SLP
![Page 25: SLP: History & Philosophy](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061120/546d6b34af79595d298b53c3/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Lest we forget
11 million children will die of preventable causes
this year. Millions of adults will die of hunger, poverty
and disease

This is our responsibility. Our startups may not
change the world. But our knowledge, connections and resources may. So in our lifetimes, we should
try.

resources to work on one Millenium Goal in their lifetime” - Anupendra
