It is the nature of the human condition that in a population of 6 billion, many millions will live lives of desperate poverty. While the numbers are increasing due to population growth, the percentage is decreasing due to globalization and the trickle down effect of the economic growth in places like China and India.
Each time you buy clothes or almost anything from a department store, you are putting a penny in the hands of the poor. You can also contribute a small amount of money each month to a charity you trust and know that some child somewhere is getting a bowl or rice he might not have had.
