Poverty Research
For Exhibition I'm doing poverty . In my research I found out that the things that people in poverty die from is hunger, AIDS, pneumonia, diarrhea, tuberculosis, malaria, and the measles. Hunger causes 25,000 people each day to die. AIDS kills over 2 million people a year. Pneumonia kills more than 2 million kids a year. Diarrhea kills about 1.6 million people a year Tuberculosis kills more people than any other disease. Malaria kills more than 1 million people a year. The measles kills less than 1 million a year. Also I learned that almost half the world has to live with less than 2.50. This all means that people who are poor have to fight and go through a very bad situations like sickness, diseases, and hunger. Then I learned that “ food for work” programs are paying adults with the food to build schools, dig wells, make roads. The food for education is a program that gives food to kids that go to school.
