Global Poverty
Families living in Poverty
According to “Poverty in America Is Mainstream.” The percentage of the population that directly encounters poverty is exceeding highly. Nearly 40% of Americans between the age of 20 and 50 years old live in Poverty.

Many people that live in Poverty have limited education and jobs.
