standard or wellbeing of life.

What Does Poverty Mean To Us?
There is no one size fits all definition of
poverty. There are many definitions that have the
same idea.
Poverty is a lack of things people NEED in life,
therefore people living in poverty are in pain.

Why we should care
Every child deserves a chance. A kid who is
living in poverty does not get a fair chance
Free The Children
When children grow up in poverty, they pay a
heavy price. Research shows that they have more
illnesses, perform poorly in school, have more
mental health problems, and earn less when they
are adults.

Where do you see poverty?

• Poverty is Everywhere.

• I see poverty on street corners, on the news, and
  populated cities.

• I see poverty in orphanages.

I see poverty in sweatshops.

• I see poverty in people who are ill and cant
  afford to buy medicine.

The Facts of Life
One billion children live in poverty. 640 million
live without adequate shelter. 400 million have
no access to safe water. 270 million have no
access to health services.
10.6 million died in 2003 before they reached age
5 or roughly 29,000 children a day
Less than one percent of what the world spent
every year on weapons was needed to put every
child into school by 2000 yet it didnt happen.

• Half the world nearly 3 million people live on
  less than 2 dollars a day

What Can You Do?

• Help at food giveaways at a church

• Give to local charities
• Lend a helping hand

• Not wasting food is a good way to help with
  poverty. Think of others who dont have what we
  have.

Dont ignore poverty, keep your eyes open to see
what is going on in the world.
