Why we photograph it:
Poverty affects 40,000,000
(forty million) Americans.
That's about 13% of the US
population. These are our
neighbors. Our relatives.
Our friends.
Worldwide, poverty affects
over 3,000,000,000 people.
Over half of the world's
population (or 3 BILLION
people) live on less than two
dollars per day. Every day,
poverty is responsible for the
deaths of 30,000 children.
Yes, every day. Thirty
thousand children die daily
around the globe because of
poverty.
Could we be doing a lot
more to get rid of it? You
betcha.
