Next time you talk to your friends, consider bringing up one of these stunning facts about poverty--you might just change their world.
Out of the world's 2.2 billion children, 1 billion (nearly half) live in poverty (www.youthagainstpoverty.com).
Five million people die every year from water-borne diseases (www.youthagainstpoverty.com).
30,000 kids die every day because of poverty (www.youthagainstpoverty.com). That's one every 3 seconds.
1 out of every 5 kids in the United States lives in poverty (www.youthaginstpoverty.org).
When you give a speech, write an essay, or write an article for your school newspaper, consider talking/writing about poverty to spread awareness about the severity of the situation and the various ways teens can help.
To find ways you can help, explore the recommended organizations on our MySpace Page and read our weekly blog.
