Introduction
Eradicating poverty is not a task of charity, it’s an act of justice and the key to unlocking an enormous human potential. Still, nearly half of the world’s population lives in poverty, and lack of food and clean water is killing thousands every single day of the year. Together, we can feed the hungry, wipe out disease and give everyone in the world a chance to prosper and live a productive and rich life.

Conclusion
While poverty is, undeniably, one of the biggest challenges of mankind, it's not unreasonable to think that much can be done. As mentioned in my Prezi presentation, awareness (which means having knowledge of government exploits over those in need) helps. The fight against poverty can be won by coordination, as long as everyone realizes that it exists.
