Homelessness  

Skyscrapers with a homeless person in the USA. Even in some of the world’s richest countries, poverty persists. Homelessness in urban areas is often caused by unemployment, high living costs, or mental health struggles. Despite the economic wealth, many lack access to affordable housing and basic needs

The Other Side  

A street scene from Mumbai with slums. Mumbai, known for its booming economy, also has millions living in informal settlements. Many families live in tiny, overcrowded homes without sanitation or clean water, working low-paying jobs to survive. Urban poverty here is about survival in a system that often overlooks the poor.

Simple Struggles  

A rural village in Bhutan with a basic home. Poverty in Bhutan looks different from crowded slums—here, it’s about isolation. While Bhutan prioritizes happiness over economic growth, rural communities still face hardships due to a lack of access to healthcare, education, and job opportunities. Yet, self-sustaining lifestyles keep communities resilient.

Thirst & Survival  

A struggling community in Africa. In many African regions, poverty is extreme, with limited access to food, water, and medical aid. Children often walk miles to fetch water, and malnutrition is a daily reality. Poverty here isn’t just about money—it’s about life’s most basic necessities being out of reach.
