Someone…

Somewhere…

JUST died of hunger

While YOU were complaining because YOU didn’t want to go to school…

Nearly a billion people are unable to read a book or sign their own names

because they couldn’t go to school.

Where do you think they’ll be in the future?

How important is school now?!

How will they feed themselves?

Will they have a family?

Will they get a job?

How was your day today?Pretty good, huh…Considering the fact that 24,000 people died in this world today…18,000 of them were children

One in two children die of povertyWho’s your best friend?

Think of it this way…

He or she might not have been alive today…

1 million?…..

How many people in this world do you think are desperate for a clean bottle of drinking water?

2 million?…..

No……1.2 billion

Imagine living on this

Each day

1.8 million children die annually due to lack of care while being treated for

diarrhea

How many times were you treated with care for diarrhea?

Or because they couldn’t find treatment.

How did you celebrate your fourth birthday?

Did you know it was going to be your last?

Well, while you were opening your presents for your fifth birthday

party….

10.6 million children died before they reached their 5th birthday

We hope this presentation has helped you view people living in poverty. One day you will help “ Make poverty history”.
