While doing my research i found some stats on this sitehttp://www.globalissues.org/TradeRelated/Facts.asp.
They really helped me with my speech and showed me how serious poverty is.


For the 1.9 billion children from the developing world, there are:

640 million without adequate shelter (1 in 3)
400 million with no access to safe water (1 in 5)
270 million with no access to health services (1 in 7)


10.6 million died in 2003 before they reached the age of 5 (same as children population in France, Germany, Greece and Italy)
1.4 million die each year from lack of access to safe drinking water and adequate sanitation

Children out of education worldwide
121 million



There is more facts on this site. This was one of the most valuable sources of information for me.
It helped a lot.
