StART
The Beginning of the End
StART
StART is a nonprofit organization devoted to being the end of poverty through means of the arts. In 2012, the hundred richest people earned enough money to end world poverty four times, yet to this day, we still face the wrath of poverty. Children and adults are dying every minute due to the poverty in which they live.
By Combining the forces of artists and sponsors, I hope to gain enough money to StART the beginning of the end of poverty indefinitely.
The Issue
("Today, around 22,000 Children Died around the World." -Global Issues. N.P., n.d. web. 05. Mar. 2014.)
Countless
Even though it seems and is thought that 22,000 children die every day due to poverty, we don't actually know how many die, for many die in silence with no record of them even existing.
Home
Out of the 3.5 Billion people that live in cities, 1 billion live in slum conditions.
Grow
25 dollars is spent for every dollar made in developing countries, so growth in economics is inevitable difficult and hardly possible.
Coulda, Woulda, Shoulda
Poverty could have ended four times from what the 100 richest people earned in 2012.
