This article is about the basic facts about Poverty. It lists the amount of races that are in poverty. It also lists the age range that is mostly in poverty. The article also lists the amount of people in Poverty and many more. I didnt realize how many people were actually in poverty.

this article has a suprising chart that shows the difference in poverty rates between a married couple with kids and a single mother with the same amount of kids

Do you think that even if a single mother had a good education she would still be in poverty? I think so IFF the child or children could take care of themselves long enough for the mother to find a decent job to support the family.

that very interesting. i never would have thought that married families are at less risk of poverty affecting them, but now that i think about it i guess they could both work and would get more money then one person.

this has facts about the amount of people who are in poverty and suffering from hunger

it shows challenges of world poverty and the solutions. One example is the rich gets richer and the poor get poorer. Throughout the 1990s, hungry people rose by 18 million. 4 million a year and 25,000 people die from poverty. I think that the rich gets richer and the poor get poorer is not all true, because some people donate money to poor people.

declan that is called down trickleing. the rich buy stuff, the money fom the stuff gets distributied among emploees, emploees buy stuff and it keeps going down the class pyrimid.

thats insane! the worlds so messed up with war, im making a song about it, but still this website has alot to offer and i also saw the war thing very interesting

This site is really cool. They have statistics and facts about poverty. And then you can test your knowledge with a Hunger Quiz. And there is a section about the Hunger in America.

I couldn't believe how many people were in poverty and how how fast it was rising. When i read this i wanted to donate food to food pantries so people in poverty could have more to eat.

I found it very shocking by how much the poverty rate increased from 2008 to 2009. It didnt even show 2010 or 2011 which means it must have rapidly increased again. Its a great website but a very sad one.

This article is about how kids that are in poverty and are going to school are more likely to fail because of their social circumtances

With the amount of poverty rising (which means more kids that make up this country), I wonder how this will effect the country in the future.

Very sad. It says that it is most likely for a child to fail in education that is in poverty because of his/her's life circumstances.

Includes many statistics, such as food wastage in America (over 100 billion lbs per year!) and poverty rate for children (55% for children under 6 living with a single mother!). I Found some of these statistics very surprising, but sadly, not unbelieveable.

This article gives information on Food wasage in america. It tels how much food is wated per year and how many people would have gladly accepted it. This article also gives some statistics on poverty in the united states.

35.9 million people in America live below the poverty line. About 100 billion pounds of food each year is wasted in America. Those living in poverty would gladly accept the food that would go to waste. Some families have to skip a meal or each very little becasue they can't afford to eat alot. In a house, about 14% of the food that is bought will be wasted. And around 49 million people could have been fed by that food. \nSeeing all of the wasted food and people that could use that food makes me want to find a way to save some of that food and give it to people in poverty. Also it's sad to know that there are alot of kids out there that live in poverty. If I were a parent it would be hard on me not being able to provide for my kids.

This artical gives information about how poverty has changed over a large amount of time and what it is like now.

I didn't know that In 2009, 14.3 percent of all persons lived in poverty. I also agree with luke.

It talks about the university of Michigan finding out about how many people in the U.S. are in poverty and won't tell anyone. It goes from a single individual to single parent to two adults.

Overall it's just different facts about poverty. Some of the categories are Health, Agriculture and hunger. I wonder why women were mentioned more.

This article shows income poverty, health poverty, poverty effects on women, and poverty effects on children. From deaths to the struggles of surviving poverty, these charts and percentages show what is happening around the world to over 1 billion people in poverty.

This website really opened my eyes. I knew that there was an amount of people who live under a dollar a day but i didnt realize that ONE BILLION live that way. It was also horrble to see that ELEVEN MILLION children die each year because they cant afford to cure their sickness.

A great website about poverty. It includes solutions poverty in different country's. and just good informations

This article explains the different "Types" of poverty, like in the U.S compared to africa. It also gives solutions to abolish this mess.

I like that site 'cause it tells you how poverty can be solved. oh, and I like the graphs because they give you an idea of where poverty is in the world if you don't know.. c:

This article gives facts and statistics that could be useful for research. It struck me that 1 in 4 kids in developing countries are underweight. makes me realize that i want to give back but i don't know how

These statistics account for one third of all human deaths. More people die as a result of extreme poverty than of any other cause. This article says that !8 million people die every year because of poverty and hunger. That is only 1/3 of people accounted for. There is still 2/3 that people dont evenknow about.18 million is a lot of people. But 18 million is only the number of people recorded who died. There are millions of others dieing every year more than recorded. That was a major shock to me. I dont understand how this many people alone struggle with hunger. They could go days without food in their bodys. That just amazes me.

Its so so sad to see all of the people effected by poverty, and how many people die from it

i liked how it said help stop proverty by educatong yourself and friends. It reminded me of the qoute at the zoo "plan for a month plant rice plan for a year plant trees plan for a life plant education"

I thought the article wasn't the most detailed but it still outlined ways of helping people in poverty

I think that this article had some good ideas for helping to stop poverty. It also had links to organizations that help end poverty. The article really showed me how easy it is for us to use organizations to help the world.

This article is about how people can help stop poverty. It really surprised me how many people in the world live in extreme poverty. But it made me happy to see that over 20,000 people committed to help stop poverty.

That is so awesome how so many people around the world are commiting to help the poverty project.

i think that it is cool that so many people are joining together and helping people below the line and trying to help one anyother!

Forgot the tags and comment oops O.o i will post the comment. I find it amazing that 6 out of 10 of the poorest people in the world are women. This will tell you about the difference in gender and poverty!

Knowing that women are the poorest gender is both outragoious and agreeable. Since women are the care takers in the family. But losing 85% of calories getting water, is unhealthy and sad.

i think that if women got the same oppritunties as men like in jobs and education, there would be less problem with poverty in women.

what do you think human kibble or lifesaver?

I don't really see the difference between this and 5 hour energy stims with peanut butter. The reason is because stims gives you a heavy adrenaline much like giving your body heavy amounts of rest and food.
