Most of the people living below the poverty line live in South Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa. However, poverty in Latin America is also measured in very high figures. Currently, 184 million people in Latin America live in poverty and 62 million in extreme poverty . These are data from the annual report "Social Panorama of Latin America 2018" prepared by the Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC). This means that 30.2% of Latin Americans are poor , and 10.2% are extremely poor. This means that an important part of its population does not have the necessary resources, not even to satisfy their diet. 184 million people in Latin America live in poverty CLICK TO TWEET The fight against poverty in Latin America For almost four decades has been working to fight poverty in Latin America.
It should be noted that within the countries themselves, there are notable differences between populations that are in better conditions and others that are in a serious or alarming situation. For example, according to the recently published Global Hunger Belgium Phone Number List Index Report (Global Hunger Index, hereinafter GHI), the rate of stunting in Guatemala is extraordinarily high. In the Department of Totonicapán, the figure is alarming: 70% of children under 5 years of age are short for their age due to chronic malnutrition. knows this situation very well. In the rural regions of Guatemala where we work, families live in conditions of extreme poverty. Climate change does not help : when periods of lack of rain are prolonged, crops fail. This is disastrous for families whose diet depends on what they grow.
And the sector of the population that suffers the most is always children. We share with you some images recently recorded in those communities. In addition to children, other population groups affected to a greater extent by poverty are youth, women, indigenous peoples, the Afro-descendant population and people with disabilities . The poverty rate of the indigenous and Afro-descendant population is double that of people who are not of these ethnic groups. This is the case of Yoselin , a Honduran girl who belongs to the Tolu pan ethnic group, settled in one of the most excluded and isolated regions of the Central American country. The circumstances in which the little girl lives with her family are common to many other indigenous populations in Latin America. The rate of stunting in Guatemala is extraordinarily high.
