Poverty

80 percent of this world lives on less that $10. a day. These people can buy few things. This if a very serious problem all over the world. We can all help

Children in world poverty

Over 24,000 children die every day around the world.

That is equivalent to:

  • 1 child dying every 3.6 seconds
  • 16-17 children dying every minute
  • A 2010 Haiti earthquake occurring almost every 9-10 days
  • A 2004 Asian Tsunami occurring almost every 10 days
  • An Iraq-scale death toll every 16–40 days
  • Just under 9 million children dying every year
  • Some 79 million children dying between 2000 and 2007

This is really sad we should all try to help, think if this was you. If you were in world poverty. How would you feel?
