"ONE DEATH IS A TRAGEDY, A MILLION DEATHS IS A STATISTIC." -Joseph Stalin POVERTY STATISTICS. "Statistics are another word for problems with the tears wiped away" -“Approximately 790 million people in the developing world are still chronically undernourished, almost two-thirds of whom reside in Asia and the Pacific.” According to UNICEF, 30,000 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.” -That is about 210,000 children each week, or just under 11 million children under five years of age, each year. -“Today, across the world, 1.3 billion people live on less than one dollar a day; 3 billion live on under two dollars a day; 1.3 billion have no access to clean water. BUT THERE IS HOPE... At the Millennium Summit in September 2000 the largest gathering of world leaders in history adopted the UN Millennium Declaration, committing 191 nations to a new global partnership to reduce extreme poverty and setting out a series of time-bound targets, with a deadline of 2015, that have become known as the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). Set for the year 2015, the MDGs are an agreed set of goals that can be achieved if all actors (participants) work together and do their part. Poor countries have pledged to govern better, and invest in their people through health care and education. Rich countries have pledged to support them, through aid, debt relief, and fairer trade. The eight MDG's are: Video: Achieving the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) Add to My Profile | More Videos There is an ENORMOUS uniting of people ALL across our planet to help end extreme poverty.
