How can we help?

Every day 16 000 children starve to death. One every five seconds.

Only one per cent of the world’s water is drinkable.

1.6 billion people live on less than one dollar a day.

2.4 billion people do not have a clean toilet.

880 million adults are illiterate.

Violence against women causes more deaths than cancer, malaria, traffic accidents and war.

Seventy percent of the world’s poor are women.
