360 MILLION CHILDREN CURRENTLY LIVE IN EXTREME POVERTY.

And though the number of deaths attributable to poverty worldwide has fallen dramatically in the past half-century, nearly 6.3 million children under five still die unnecessarily each year.
The people of the developed world face a profound choice: if we do not want to turn our backs on a fifth of the world’s population, we must become part of the solution.
