100 Poorest Countries

The 100 Poorest Countries

WHICH ONE WILL YOU CHAMPION?

Join our movement to eliminate extreme poverty throughout the world.

Even though the world has enough wealth to feed and clothe everyone who lives on it, that wealth has been unevenly distributed. Whether it's unsuitable housing, lack of nutritious food, or inaccessibility to healthcare and education, there are 100 countries that live in poverty. Those who face poverty struggle every day to support themselves and their families. But it shouldn't be that way, and it doesn't have to be that way.


The 100 Champions Program has a goal to establish a Beacon of Light in each of the poorest 100 countries. This beacon will demonstrate how poverty can be eliminated in a specific impoverished community, thus serving as an example to surrounding communities and the whole country. You can be a part of this program, and you can help make a global difference.
