One in 10 people on the planet lives in extreme poverty. That means they live on less than $1.25 a day.
The World Bank's explicit target is that everyone everywhere lives on at least $1.90 each day.
RESULTS is a nonprofit advocacy organization and educational fund with more than 2,000 volunteers who advocate to the Federal Government in 28 countries to end extreme poverty globally and in the US by the Year 2030.
The RESULTS organization is working to train people to talk with Congress.
