An estimated 1.4 billion people survive on incomes of $1.25 or less a day.
Some 2.6 billion people worldwide have one thing in common, they do not have access
to sanitation.
Worldwide, about 1.7 million deaths a year, 90 percent of which are children, are attributed to unsafe water, poor sanitation and hygiene, mainly through infectious diarrhoea.
Access to sanitation, the practice of good hygiene, and a safe water supply could save
1.5 million children a year.
Since 1990, the base year for the Millennium Development Goals, an estimated 10 million women have died from complications related to pregnancy and childbirth, and some 4 million newborns have died each year within the first 28 days of life.
We are creating online Internet Communities of up to 200 individuals and organisations to collectively make a difference in other people's lives.
In particular to promote "The Life You Can Save: Acting Now to End World Poverty" by Peter Singer – both the book and the website http://www.thelifeyoucansave.org/
Peter Singer was born in Melbourne, Australia, in 1946, and educated at the University of Melbourne and the University of Oxford.
He has taught at the University of Oxford, La Trobe University and Monash University, and has held several other visiting appointments.
Since 1999 he has been Ira W. DeCamp Professor of Bioethics in the University Center for Human Values at Princeton University.
Peter Singer works in ethics, with a focus on applied ethics. He has written about global ethical issues, and his book One World (2002) includes a discussion of ethical issues relating to climate change. He has also published extensively in bioethics.
In 2005 Time magazine named him one of the world’s 100 most influential people.
