Poverty Stats


The GDP (Gross Domestic Product) of the 41 Heavily Indebted Poor Countries (567
million people) is less than the wealth of the world’s 7 richest people combined.

Nearly a billion people entered the 21st century unable to read a book or sign their
names.

Less than one per cent of what the world spent every year on weapons was needed to
put every child into school by the year 2000 and yet it didn’t happen.

Almost half the world — over 3 billion people — live on less than $2.50 a day.

1 billion children live in poverty (1 in 2 children in the world). 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 the age of
5 (or roughly 29,000 children per day).
