“One in five people in developing regions still live on less than $1.25 a day.” This adds up to 836 million people in the developing regions such as Southern Asia and sub-Saharan Africa. These people are considered to be in extreme poverty meaning they have little to no access to basic needs like health, education, water, and sanitation. Although the extreme poverty rates have been cut in half since 1990 many people are still very poor, some living in the world’s richest countries. There are ways we can solve this huge problem. Many are so poor because of lack of resources or income. If we could find a way to ensure more jobs in these areas then the poverty rates would decrease. By 2030 it is a hope that extreme poverty will be gone. Young people can “support transformation change in people’s lives and communities.” Also, governments around the world can “help create an enabling environment to generate productive employment and job opportunities for the poor.” There are things everyone can do to help this worldwide problem and yes, it will take time and money but it is something that needs to be done. There are a lot of people in poverty right now, but there are also a lot who are not so we should do our part to help.

People with poverty gets $l.25 a day.  People are dying from hunger. They don't get food and water. People are getting sick and getting diseases from the dirty water. People are homeless from poverty and don’t get much food. People are trying to end poverty because lots of people are dying.They don't get clean water so there clothes so they don't get clean. They don't  get jobs so they don't get money. They don't have a hospitals or doctors so people always get sick.

How do we end poverty?

We can raise money for them to get jobs. Get doctors and build hospitals. We give them clean water and food.
