Poverty Response

People who suffer from lack of food, lack of money and don't have enough of anything to feed there family is under extreme poverty. I don't know why people in the 21st century are suffering so much, when they could be like us and living a happy easy life. There are organizations out there who are helping and making a difference. For example, the World Bank. The World Bank is an international Bank, for reconstructing and development of countries who are suffering from poverty and other disasters. They have collected data from 73 different countries. They did this so they can universalize the data and look more into it and investigate it. I have seen an improvement that the World Bank has done.

"Poverty is hunger. Poverty is lack of shelter. Poverty is being sick and not being able to see a doctor. Poverty is not having access to school and not knowing how to read. Poverty is not having a job, is fear for the future, living one day at a time. Poverty is losing a child to illness brought about by unclean water. Poverty is powerlessness, lack of representation and freedom."(http://web.worldbank.org/WBSITE/EXTERNAL/TOPICS/EXTPOVERTY/0,,contentMDK:20153855~menuPK:373757~pagePK:148956~piPK:216618

As you can see, this is about poverty. But extreme poverty is much worse. Extreme poverty is when you don't have enough at all to feed yourself and your family. You are extremely poor, and badly need a lot of help.

13,500 people get infected with HIV/AIDS everyday

22,000 people die from extreme poverty everyday

850 million people go to bed hungry everyday

1 billion people live on less than $1 a day

I think this is unacceptable and we need to make a move that will change everything. We need to start looking out more and especially for much more solutions to help the needed. Many of these hopeless people often become poverty trapped. Its when you don't have enough of anything, and not enough to provide for your children. You are trapped in poverty. You need to work hard to become free. You need extreme help. There are currently 1.4 billion people who are living under the poverty line in the world. This is a huge number, we all need to take a look at this and do something. I have witnessed some poverty, and it is horrible, i don't like seeing it at all. it makes me sad and worry if will ever be in that position. We need to do something! Fast!
