To define moderate poverty as basic subsistence living, is on $1 to $2 a day. All
told, nearly half the world's population lives in poverty -- that's 2.8 billion
people living on less than two dollars a day.
With nearly 1.5 billion people still living in absolute poverty, eradication
efforts had not succeeded and it remained the most significant challenge facing
humankind
Yet there is plenty of food in the world for everyone. The problem is that hungry people are trapped in severe poverty. They lack the money to buy enough food to nourish themselves. Being constantly malnourished, they become weaker and often sick. This makes them increasingly less able to work, which then makes them even poorer and hungrier. This downward spiral often continues until death for them and their families.
the only way to look at this suffering with color is through this camera lens, their life is colorless stricken with grief n hunger
More than 1 billion people lack adequate access to clean drinking water and an estimated 400 million of these are children. Because unclean water yields illness, roughly 443 million school days are missed every year
Preventable diseases like diarrhea and pneumonia take the lives of 2 million children a year who are too poor to afford proper treatment

Less than one per cent of what the world spent every year on weapons was needed to put every child
into school by the year 2000 and yet it didn’t happen.Nearly a billion people entered the 21st century unable to read a book or sign their names
If all the finances spent on wars n weapons by the developed nations redirected into saving human lives and improving the living conditions of mankind the world will be a place proud for one to be part of.. There will be smile replaced by tears, health replaced by sickness ,and humanity replaced by terrorism and barbaric acts of slaughter and neglegence. If three of the worlds richest people donate their wealth and i say just three it can be utilised to eradicate poverty and substitute health care and basic nessecities like sanitation,water and food for the helpless population growing by numbers year after year around the world. The undeniable fact remains that why do 20 % of the world wealthiest people consume the the worlds finances and drain us of our own natural resources and leave us the majority dying in humiliation .This is the unbound cruelty of the so called educated civilization everytin has become self centric and greed has crippled them to reach out to the ones who deserve a helping hand.
Lets bring back smiles give hope nuture life
Revolt to eradicate poverty now
Come together to build a proactive society
