The Problem
Millions of individuals, families, and communities suffer from poverty and want globally. According to the World Bank’s poverty, prosperity, and planet report 2024, more than 700 million people (approximately 9% of global population) live in extreme poverty – on less than $2.15 per day. They struggle to meet basic life needs such as food, shelter, education, and healthcare. Many are trapped in a cycle of hardship due to lack of social safety nets and sparse economic opportunities. The barriers created by these conditions make many vulnerable to exploitation, destitution, and crime.
