Yesterday was the International Day for the Eradication of Poverty which has been observed annually since 1993. The UN General Assembly designated this day to promote awareness of the need to eradicate poverty and destitution in every country. Yet still one person in every eight goes hungry.
Altogether, around 15 million people die every year largely due to a lack of access to nutritious food, basic healthcare services, or clean water for drinking and sanitation - equivalent to more than 40,000 preventable deaths every single day.
Poverty not only is intolerable and unbearable for the individual or a group of individuals. It also demolishes creativity and working capacity of human beings, which is a loss for entire humanity.
