Children of Sorrow

• Every three seconds a child dies from extreme poverty

• 1 billion people around the world live on less than $1 a day

• 12 million children have been orphaned by HIV/AIDS in Africa and that number is expected to climb to 18 million by 2010

• Education is a powerful investment we can make to fight poverty, yet worldwide over 77 million children are not enrolled in primary education, more than half of whom are girls

• Over one billion people lack access to clean water and 2.6 billion do not have access to basic sanitation. Every 15 seconds, a child dies from problems caused by lack of clean water
