POVERTY

According to the United Nations Development Programme, "while the number of people living in extreme poverty dropped by more than half between 1990 and 2015–from 1.9 billion to 836 million–too many are still struggling for the most basic human needs."More than 800 million people are living on less that $1.25 per day, making poverty the leading cause of family disruption.

"How do you define poverty?" These were the top five answers we received:

Poverty is an empty heart

Poverty is not knowing your abilities or strengths

Poverty is not being able to make progress

Poverty is isolation

Poverty is no hope or belief in yourself

For every $50 you are able to raise, you will help an orphaned or vulnerable child receive food, education, medical care, and spiritual care.
