I calculated (using UNICEF statistics) that at least 60,000 children die in Africa every month because of malaria.
That's like a killer tsunami or earthquake happening, constantly.
Children alone.
Every month.
A malaria vaccine only costs $2.80 a pop.
That's just one snapshot of poverty. There are people dying because they don't get Vitamin A. They might eat white rice for 6 months in a row if they're lucky.
Here's my question.
Based on a larger scope of the planet: why is the majority of the earth poor like that?
By majority, I mean at least 6 billion people live in complete abject poverty. They can't wear whatever clothes they want -- they're thankful if they get to eat. And have a shoddy roof. And thank God, if they can go to school.
Seriously, why are we all filthy rich compared to billions of people that God loves just as much?
