Good evening. I'll spell it in English for the first time in a long time.

Today is coming to an end soon ….
Today, Saturday, October 17th, is "International Day for the Eradication of Poverty" established by the United Nations in 1992.
Eradication of poverty is one of the most important issues for human.
The number of people living in poverty in the world has decreased by less than half from 1.9 billion in 1990 to 821 million in 2019, but many people have yet to live their minimum human life.
More than 800 million people around the world live on less than 1 dollar 25 cents a day, and many people don't have enough food, don’t use clean drinking water. Sanitation facilities are not available.
In China and India, millions of people have been out of poverty due to the rapid growth of the economy. However, the proportion of people living in poverty may rise as new threats are caused by climate change, conflict, and food crisis in the future,

Kenya, where I lived for two years from 2000 to 2002, is one of the poorest areas. Especially in rural areas, there were no electricity and running water, and not enough supplies to live on.
Children's work is to draw water from a nearby river every morning.
Children who want to go to school can’t go, because of no money.
Children can't wear shoes, and they wear the same tattered clothes every day, because of no money.
Children can’t go to hospital, because of no money.
In order to get a small amount of money, children also do dirty hard jobs.
In addition, there were harsh life in Kenya that is unthinkable in Japan.

Why does the poverty problem occur?
How can we solve the poverty problem?

Last month, a 35-minute documentary video was uploaded to the United Nations website.
