How?

Poverty has been one of our worlds major problems. From more than 26,500 children dying every day from starvation to 10.6 million kids dying under the age of 5 before the year of 2003. Some other answers to the question that many people ask are, mostly every stop we make we have to bear and see a homeless person seeking money.

According to UNICEF, 25,000 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.

Infectious diseases continue to blight the lives of the poor across the world. An estimated 40 million people are living with HIV/AIDS, with 3 million deaths in 2004. Every year there are 350-500 million cases of malaria, with 1 million fatalities: Africa accounts for 90 percent of malarial deaths and African children account for over 80 percent of malaria victims worldwide.

"Approximately 790 million people in the developing world are still chronically undernourished, almost two-thirds of whom reside in Asia and the Pacific.".

Now stop and think. poverty is an issue.
