This document discusses global poverty statistics from multiple countries. It notes that in 2010, 15.1% of Americans lived in poverty, which was the highest rate since 1993. It also discusses that over 1 billion people live on less than $1 per day, and 80% of humanity lives on less than $2 per day. Poverty leads to millions of child deaths each year from diseases that could otherwise be prevented. Poverty remains a barrier to education and full human potential for many children worldwide.
