Facts for Action:

-1.3 billion people, 20% of the human family, live in absolute poverty with incomes of less than a dollar a day.  World Bank

"After going to services, Crop Walk gives people the chance to turn outward, to put into practice what they have heard. Crop Walk makes it easy for all to get involved."
