In the year 1500 A.D., five hundred million people lived on Earth, virtually everyone of them in absolute poverty. Today, two billion people live under conditions of extreme privation, lacking access to food, clean water, housing, medical care, and education. Seven million people die annually of HIV, tuberculosis, and malaria—all preventable and treatable diseases.

“It’s almost as if we are morally asleep.”—Dr. Jim Kim, Harvard University and Partners in Health
