Global issue's (poverty)

There are people in poverty across the world, about half of the people in the world are suffering from poverty, that is about 3 billion people, most of those people are living  on less than $2.50 a DAY. One billion of those people are children. 10.6 million children in 2003 died before they reached the age of five because they are living in poverty. I think this is a really big issue in the world today that needs to be changed. When I think of poverty it reminds me of Nectar in a Sieve, because the food is very scarce in the book and many people who are living in poverty can't afford meals. People who grow up living in poverty usually don't have the chance that kids get who live in a normal home, they don't have any education, which can cause them to end up living in poverty when they grow older, also they don't have health care. Without health care I wouldn't have the shots I need to prevent sicknesses that I could possibly die from, imagine not having health care. Around the world everyday 27-30,000 children die every day, one child dies every three seconds, twenty die every minute. There clearly needs to be something done about poverty.
