What is extreme poverty? What does it mean to live on less than $3 a day?
In this video, we explain the global poverty line, current extreme poverty statistics and how poverty impacts children and families worldwide. Using data from the World Bank, we break down what extreme poverty looks like today and where it is most concentrated.
You’ll also learn how child sponsorship through Compassion International works to address the long-term effects of poverty by supporting children with education, medical care, nutrition and mentorship.
If you’re looking to better understand global poverty — or take action — this is a helpful place to start.
