Is global poverty solvable?
Can we find a solution to the Global Poverty Challenge?
1 billion youths are multidimensionally poor.
1.7 billion people still do not have basic sanitation services, such as private toilets or latrines.
828 million people are affected by hunger.
These facts are astonishing and may appear to be overwhelming challenges without any solutions.
Although escaping poverty is challenging, when we consider these issues from a broader perspective, we can recognize that by working together, we can contribute to breaking the cycle of poverty for both this generation and the next.
PROBLEM: 64 million children of primary school age are not in school.
SOLVE: It would cost roughly $40 billion to ensure every youth on the planet receives an education.
PERSPECTIVE:
Americans spend about $50 billion a year on gardening and lawn care. For less than the amount of money the U.S. spends on pursuing the perfect lawn, young individuals around the world could receive an education.
The Foundation for a Better Life offers educational programs, tutoring, and resources to help girls remain in school until graduation.
Small changes add up.
Putting poverty in perspective allows us to see how global problems can be solved when we all do our part. Your sponsorship or gift provides youths access to educational, health care and dental programs while also funding empowerment and employment initiatives and building community centers. Together, we can give children the chance to create a better future and bring about lasting change for their communities.
