The End of Extreme Poverty
March/April 2014
Extreme poverty:
It's not having access to life-saving medicine;
It’s a 2-mile hike for water;
It’s a small plot of land, five kids, no modern tools and a drought-prone world;
It’s “A Day in the Dark” everyday;
It’s growing up in a war zone;
It's not having a vote.
So what are we doing about it?
USAID — the U.S. Government’s lead agency to advance human dignity and progress around the globe — is working on behalf of the American people to wipe the most devastating forms of poverty from the planet in the next two decades.
This powerful photo story outlines our vision.
