Poverty. Today we live in a world that is divided. A world in which we have made great progress and advances in science and technology. But it is also a world where millions of children die because they have no access to medicines. We live in a world where knowledge and information have made enormous strides, yet millions of children are not in school.It is a world of great promise and hope. It is also a world of despair, disease and hunger...Nelson Mandela, 2005.
