Poverty Facts and Stats

Hey guys,

I was just surfing the net when I came across these facts about poverty. I couldn't believe what I was reading! So I want to share it with everyone:

1. Half the world — nearly three billion people — live on less than two dollars a day.
2. The poorest 40 percent of the world’s population accounts for 5 percent of global income. The richest 20 percent accounts for three-quarters of world income.

SAGE's Part in Reducing the World's Poverty

Understand that it is not folly to dream or take action toward the illusive impossibilities. After all, there are, on average, around eighty-seven thousand aircrafts in the sky on any given day, yet the Wright brothers were thought to be quite insane. Now take the fact that nearly three billion people live on less than two dollars a day. Why haven't we taken the same scope of vision as the Wright brothers had?
