HAPPY
NEW
YEAR
Over the last decade, the world as whole has achieved tremendous success in mitigating poverty globally. However, about 7.0% of the worlds 7.0 billion population continues to live in poverty and it is estimated by the United Nations that about 25,000 people die every day of hunger or hunger-related causes. This is one person every three and a half seconds.
Poverty has existed for a very long time, and to greater extents it remains worldwide in this 21st century. The UN food agency reported that world food prices, a driving force of poverty reached their highest level ever recorded in January 2011.
In addition, the FAO poverty statistics shows that average producer price of cassava, the most staple food in Africa was over $400 per tonne three years ago.
While reflecting on this, Abibirim volunteers would like to take a moment to thank you for your continued interest in our programs and work around the globe. We remain committed to ensuring decent and socially acceptable level of life in our community and abroad
We also remain dedicated to ensuring that we use our identity to promote unity and diversity everywhere
How you can help this winter
There are still several families out there that still need assistance. This winter, many families are not able to heat their homes and have to wear warm clothes to keep warm at home. Lift the torch high and try to find some of these families to continue to help.
Happy New Year
