          Poverty has taken away many children’s lives; the children who survived are faced with a terrible lifestyle. Around the world 2.5 billion people lack the access of improved sanitization. 1 billion children are deprived of one or more services essential to survival and development. 148 million under 5 years old in developing regions are underweight for their age. 101 million children are not attending primary school, with more girls than boys missing out22 million infants are not protected from diseases by routine immunization. 8 million children worldwide died before their 5th birthday in 20094 million newborns worldwide are dying in the first month of life. 2 million children fewer than 15 are living with HIV .Poverty is everywhere where it is least expected.
