If we could shrink the earth to a village of 100 people, then...

57 would be Asian
21 would be European
6 would be North American
8 would be South American
8 would be African

15 (including 10 women) would be illiterate
20 of the richest people would consume 90% of the wealth
20 of the poorest people would consume just 1% of the wealth
14 would have no right to basic health services
17 would have no proper shelter
15 (including 3 children) would be undernourished
22 would have no access to drinking water
13 would die by the age of 40
5 would have access to the internet and 24 would have television

In a village of 100 some problems seem quite small, but try these for size:

A girl born in Japan may have a 50% chance of seeing the 22nd century

A newborn in Afghanistan has a 25% chance of dying before the age of 5

18,000 children under 5 starve to death every day

There IS enough food in the world to feed everyone...
...plus a further 3 billion people!
