*Half the world — nearly three billion people —live on less than two dollars a day.
Nearly a billion people entered the 21st century unable to read a book or sign their names.
Less than one per cent of what the world spent every year on weapons was needed to put every child into school by the year 2000 and yet it didn't happen.
“The lives of 1.7 million children will be needlessly lost this year [2000] because world governments have failed to reduce poverty levels”
Approximately 790 million people in the developing world are still chronically undernourished, almost two-thirds of whom reside in Asia and the Pacific.
15 million children orphaned due to HIV/AIDS (similar to the total children population in Germany or United Kingdom)
