Who does Poverty affect???

In every county in the world, Poverty exists, but it mostly occurs in third world countries. It affects whole communities.

Nearly 1 billion people entered the 21st century, without being able to read a book, or sign their names!

1 in 2 children in the world have to live in poverty, 640 million live without adequate shelter, 400 million have no access to safe drinking water and 270 million have no access to health services. In 2003, roughly around 29 thousand children died every day!!!!

On an emotional level, it is hard to accept that they have to live this way.
