Right now, at least 1.4 billion people on this planet live on less than $1.25 USD per day. (Source: World Bank) These are people that live in what is called “extreme poverty.” At that level of income, people don’t have access to adequate shelter, food, clean water, education, or health care.
Think about that for a second.
Make a pledge to support the following causes which can help the poor and eliminate poverty:
- Build a well, so that more people have access to clean, drinkable water.
- Build a school, so that all children can get the education they deserve.
- Train a medical worker, so that the poor have access to medical care.
- Feed a starving child and help end deaths from malnutrition.
- Plant a seed, and teach a family to grow food to eat and to sell at market.
- Give a displaced hope with emergency food, tents and medical care.
- Invest in success. A micro-loan of as little as $50 can start a small business.
- Immunize a child and stop deaths from preventable diseases.
- Help the blind see. Up to 75% of all blindness is treatable or preventable.
- Empower a refugee with tools that rebuild lives—shelter, clean water and schools for children.
Those in need are among us.
