PovertyThird World Struggle

According to UNICEF, 22,000 children die each day due to poverty. And they “die quietly in some of the poorest villages on earth, far removed from the scrutiny and the conscience of the world. Being meek and weak in life makes these dying multitudes even more invisible in death.”

While We Do This

We feast…

…they hunger.

Approximately 790 million people in the developing world are still chronically

undernourished

We run to get ahead…

…they run just to keep up

Urbanization is not synonymous with human progress. Urban slum growth is outpacing

urban growth by a wide margin

We have our home…

…and they have theirs…

Some 1.1 billion people in developing countries have inadequate access to water,

and 2.6 billion lack basic sanitation

Obesity is our problem…

You can see what theirs is…

Around 27-28 percent of all children in developing countries are estimated to be

underweight or stunted

they suffer Alone…

15 million children orphaned due to HIV/AIDS

…trying to Survive

But You Can HelpDonate or Volunteer with an organization to help in even

the smallest ways

2.2 million children die each year because they are not immunized…

You can change that.

They Need You.
