Poverty

Poor people are very vulnerable to abuses in many ways. Some people are as desperate for money as to sell organs to other people to get money. An example will be selling kidneys, which is short in supply for transplants. In this kind of shady business, the rich pays the poor to get a chance to live a longer life. 56% of those living in poverty are woman, 36% are children, and the rest are men. In 2007, the overall people who live in poverty is 37 million people. Poverty is not just in America, but in every place in the world. There has been programs that is helping those that are in need. An good example is freereice.com (http://freerice.com/) which helps donates free food. Some of the poorest countries includes Afghanistan, Angola, Bangladesh, Benin, Bhutan, Burkina Faso, Burundi, Cambodia, Cape Verde, Central African Republic, Chad, Comoros, Democratic Republic of Congo, Djibouti, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Gambia, Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, Haiti, Kiribati, Laos, Lesotho, Liberia, Madagascar, Malawi, Maldives, Mali, Mauritania, Mozambique, Myanmar, Nepal, Niger, and many more. There are many poor countries that needs help even today.
