Poverty
About 25,000 people die
every day of hunger or
hunger-related causes,
according to the United
Nations. This is one person
every three and a half
seconds, as you can see
on this display.
Unfortunately, it is children
who die most often.
Yet there is plenty of food
in the world for everyone.
The problem is that hungry
people are trapped in
severe poverty. They lack
the money to buy enough
food to nourish
themselves. Being
constantly malnourished,
they become weaker and
often sick. This makes
them increasingly less able
to work, which then makes
them even poorer and
hungrier. This downward
spiral often continues until
death for them and their
families.
Poverty reduction is a major goal and issue for many international
organizations such as the United Nations and the World Bank. The
World Bank estimated 1.29 billion people were living in absolute
poverty in 2008. Of these, about 400 million people in absolute
poverty lived in India and 173 million people in China. In USA 1 in 5
children lives in poverty. In terms of percentage of regional
populations, sub-Saharan Africa at 47% had the highest incidence
rate of absolute poverty in 2008. Between 1990 and 2010, about 663
million people moved above the absolute poverty level. Still, extreme
poverty is a global challenge; it is observed in all parts of the world,
including the developed economies.
Poverty is a complex phenomenon. It is caused by a range of factors which work together and
result in inadequate resources.
Worklessness
This is a major cause of poverty. In 2009/10, 42 per cent of all families below the UK poverty line
contained no working members.1
There are numerous reasons people do not work. Some of these reasons are personal: many
people have caring responsibilities, others suffer from a health condition or have a disability while
some encounter discrimination that acts as a barrier to work.
But there are also structural reasons why people do not work. For example, if the labour market
does not provide enough jobs that match the skills and qualifications of unemployed people, or
that are close enough to people’s homes, working is not a realistic option.
Proyecto Hambre Presidente y CEO de Mary Ellen McNish.
What do you think about the
organization?- The thing that brought me
to the organization is that, when i start to
talk with people i realized how different it
wasn't an ordinary NGO than just make
thing for people, is an organization that
realy believe deeply and helping people to
help themselves and give them the
recourses and the plannings.
What impressed you the most?- i think
that the thing that impressed me the most
was actually gone to Bangladesh in India
and seen the work underground, before i
read about it and talk but after i lived and
saw it, i understand how women help
their families and their communities, and
how they get out of their shell and
resolves the problems by themselves.
Which challenges do you see in the
organization?- I think as the Hunger
Project call it themselves treated
organization, i think that is hard to
describe to people who don´t understand
what it means, but once they understand
that we are growing and they see our
work they realized the kind of project that
we are.

Angelina Jolie Charity
Work
A mother to six children and a natural beauty
both inside and out, she needs no
introduction as humanitarian spokes person
to the world.
Jolie first became personally aware of
worldwide humanitarian crises while
filming Tomb Raider in Cambodia. She
eventually turned to The Office of the United
Nations High Commissioner for Refugees
(UNHCR), the agency mandated to lead and
co-ordinate international action to protect
refugees and resolve refugee problems
worldwide, for more information on
international trouble spots.
Since 2001, Jolie has been on field missions
around the world and met with refugees and
internally displaced persons in more than 20
countries, including Sierra Leone, Tanzania,
Cambodia, Pakistan, Thailand, Ecuador,
Kosovo, Kenya, Namibia, Sri Lanka, North
Caucasus, Jordan, Egypt, New Delhi, Costa
Rica, Chad, Syria, and Iraq, to name a few,
and most recently visited earthquake victims
in Haiti on her latest trip to help survivors of
conflict and natural disaster.
The Jolie-Pitt Foundation, dedicated to
eradicating extreme rural poverty, protecting
natural resources and conserving wildlife,
donated $1 million to Doctors Without
Borders, an international medical
humanitarian organization created by doctors
and journalists in France in 1971. The
organization provides aid in nearly 60
countries to people whose survival is
threatened by violence, neglect, or
catastrophe, primarily due to armed conflict,
epidemics, malnutrition, exclusion from health
care, or natural disasters, for emergency
medical assistance to help victims of the Haiti
earthquake.
