It really scares me to know that one child dies every five seconds from hunger. Also, it was eye-opening to see that 9 million kids die of hunger before their fifth birthday. I think it's really unfair that someone that young has to go through such living.

omg thats so sad and scary makes me count my blessings

925 million people are hungry. They cant put food on their tables. I think we take it for granted. We always have food in our fridges, we always have food on our tables. We need to appreciate more for what we get. Next time our moms put something on the table we don't like, you should still appreciate that you get food in your bodies. There are millions people out there that would do anything for just a thing of spinach.

this website shows all the cites in Ohio and how much a family needs for money and food and how much they spend each year or on average

I find this artcle not suprising. I see it, go downtown to the brewery district, you'll see it. That article was made in 2001 i think. I wonder if those statistics are still the same.

Me neitherr!

This website suprises me, because it really shows where poverty is in the world. It's sad because here in america, it doesn't show anybody living under 1.25 dollars a day. :/

this makes me sad and I'm thankful for what i have in my life.

i agree with ryan, its sad that we have to read about these trageties and then you look at yourslef, and you get everything you want, and we are also complaining about not having one thing that we dont even need.

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.

facts about hunger and how many people died a year and how to end hunger in the U.S and ways to stop it

It surprised me that 26.9 percent of latino's have a hard time to put food on the table. I feel sad.

if america is one of the wealthiest countries we should be sharing the wealth instead of keeping it to ourselves. it surprised me that most people will go through poverty before they are 65.

This article is about extreme poverty and many facts about it. This article made me really sad because there are a lot of sad facts about poverty.

I didn't know that, approximately 9.2 million children under the age of 5 die each year, mostly from preventable diseases.

It's so sad to see that so every day and every minute a kid dies because of poverty i wonder if anyone is trying to do anything to help if not why don't they start

This article talks about what it means to be developed or undeveloped country

This has a lot of facts about poverty around the world. Very sight exploding

This article is very insightful, becauswe not only is it telling you about poverty in the U.S., but in other countries! Showing you the wages, perctentages, and what makes a country "developed," or "developing.

poverty is really hurting kids and thier future. Watching the video made me sad seeing all the faces of the little kids that are in poverty.

I cannot believe that 24,000 kids die each DAY just from poverty. I also like the way you can sponser a child, and they made it look so easy, it makes it so easy to want to do something to help.

i agree with kayla. im glad that so many people are trying to help children in poverty so that they can get the potential and education they need! when i get home i'm going to sign up for this website so that i can help them aswell as other people. :D

Describes what welfare is, welfare's history, and how it is set up including different types,requirements, and how you apply. I found it very informative and easy to understand.

I think that welfare is good. It stinks when there are people that try to take advantage of the system. There are people out there that really need help.

It talks about how poverty is more focused on central cities, but poverty rates are increasing at a quicker pace in suburban areas.

I didn't know there was suburban poverty. I only thought poverty was in downtown cities

This Article was about the percent of people in poverty living in factory town. I was really amazed that east Cleveland leads the state in poverty.

This article gives information about why the worst poverty in Ohio exists and what is being done about poverty in Ohio. It gives poverty rates of counties and it saddens me when I saw that east Cleveland has 32% rate of poverty. It makes me think that maybe as Phoenix we could help reach out to people and give them something that could change their life.

It has facts on stats in America and ohio is the 24th highest poverty rate. I think that is not good because 23 other states have lower poverty percentage then us.

It talks about facts about poverty, and gives percetages about the people in povery. it says there are 2.2 billion kids in the world, and 1 billion is in poverty. That's... sad.

This is unbelieveable! 22,000 children die every day due to poverty? It makes me feel like we really need to do SOMETHING. We have enough money to make a big change in the poverty levels, if we did something about it.

i think its really sad that over half of the world makes less than 2.30 dollars a day. its also sad how many kids and people die each day from poverty and hunger. we should think of better ways to provide other people with food because there is enough for everyone.

this looks at many differnt aspects of poverty even political aspect

This article talks about people in poverty and why they struggle to survive. Iwas really sad when I saw the statistics about how 26,000 to 30,000 children in poverty die everyday.

I didn't know that Statistics show that 14 to 20 percent of the U.S. population lives in poverty.

14- 20% of America's population lives in poverty. Crazy!!!!!!

Gives percantage of children living in poverty and the effects of poverty on children. It also includes what the federal poverty line is. I was shocked by how many kids are living in poverty and how strongly it affects almost all aspects of their lives.

I thought it was really interesting when they said that the children living in poverty that go to school can't learn because they have problems at home that keep them from reaching their potential in school. This reminded my about maslows heirarchy and how if they don't have a strong base(home) everything else will fall apart.

This site will give you the overview of Poverty. I found it amazing how

harold that is so not cool to steal grasons post >:(

I was surprised to hear that the west was in the most poverty, I had always thought of the west as well off.

The website is about what has lead us to poverty and what still is. It seems like from the website that people in the west take advantage of poorer regions because the resources are cheaper. I find that very selfish. I was also very suprised too see that the main problem were the policies of international institutions.

it was weird to read that the food banks can help people, but some people it doesnt help them at all.

haley im sorry but would you care to explain what you are saying a bit more

This is about a orginazation that helps poverty. It mostly helps in Africa. It really amazed me how little people live on a day.

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 gives facts about hunger in both Washington DC and around the world. Some of the facts are really surprising.
