    From the page: "Half the world â nearly three billion people live on less than two dollars a day.The GDP (Gross Domestic Product) of the 41 Heavily Indebted Poor Countries (567 million people) is less than the wealth of the worlds 7 richest people combined. Nearly a billion people entered the 21st century unable to read a book or sign their names. # Less than one per cent of what the world spent every year on weapons was needed to put every child into school by the year 2000 and yet it didnt happen."
