Of the 7 billion people in the world, 1.1 billion live in extreme poverty ($1.25 or less a day).

This is actually incredible progress. In fact, the Millennium Development Goal of halving global poverty was achieved 5 years early. Can we get this number down to nearly zero by 2030? I believe this is achievable and should be the aim of the new Millennium Development Goals. http://b-gat.es/ZoV2gS
