Impact of One Day's Wages

in

In response to the overwhelming statistics about extreme global poverty, we often have more questions than answers:

  • What can one person do?
  • What is the impact of one day's wages?
  • Can I really make a difference?

The answers are an emphatic "Yes."

Yes, one person can make a difference. Imagine when many individuals work together to change the world - and be changed in that process. We not only have much to give but we actually have much to receive and learn.

Yes, a person's one day's wages can make a difference. An average working person's daily wage is approximately 0.4% of their annual salary. Consider the impact we can make for another person, a family, a village, or an organization that is on the ground working to uplift people out of poverty:

  • Malaria Net: $10
  • Child's Tuition for Education: $45
  • Teacher's Salary in jungles in Burma: $60/year
  • Training & Sewing Machine for one woman: $100
  • Machine Drilled Well for a Village: $1400 

If you're still asking, "Can we really make a difference?"

Yes.
