Poverty Fighters Intl hasn't added a story.
16% of Washington state's children under 18 live below the federal poverty level. The 226,000 children are living in poverty (According to Child Poverty Fact Sheet.)
Poverty Fighters Int are on a mission to fight poverty and provide access to good living conditions to unprivileged children and you can join our fight too! This year, we are raising $40,500 that will help 15 children get hot lunches for 1(!) school year!
Number of kids | Price per meal | School days in a year | Total $ needed
| 15 | $15 | 180 | $40,500 |
Jessica, 9 years old
If we hit the goal, 15 kids will get hot meals during one school year which will positively influence their health, school performance and mental condition.
For most kids, this is the only chance to eat hot meals.
Otherwise, they will rely on cold snacks and unhealthy meals that don't have enough nutritional value.
About poverty in the world:
In 2012 it was estimated that, using a poverty line of $1.25 a day, 1.2 billion people lived in poverty.[6] Given the current economic model, built on GDP, it would take 100 years to bring the world's poorest up to the poverty line of $1.25 a day.[7]
Extreme poverty is a global challenge; it is observed in all parts of the world, including developed economies.[8][9] UNICEF estimates half the world's children (or 1.1 billion) live in poverty.[10] It has been argued by some academics that the neoliberal policies promoted by global financial institutions such as the IMF and the World Bank are actually exacerbating both inequality and poverty.[11]
Another estimate places the true scale of poverty much higher than the World Bank, with an estimated 4.3 billion people (59% of the world's population) living with less than $5 a day and unable to meet basic needs adequately.
