Approximately 8.5% of the world’s population lives in extreme poverty, surviving on less than $2.15 per day.  This figure is even more staggering in Sierra Leone with roughly 60% of the population affected.   The Multidimensional Poverty Index reveals that 75% of the population falls into one of three categories: below the income poverty line, in severe multidimensional poverty, or vulnerable to multidimensional poverty. 

What is equally true and difficult to measure within this same population is its tremendous capacity for growth and contributions to the global landscape.  People want to be educated and employed and live healthy lives.  With roughly 60% of the population under 25yrs, many are eager to work and have a hunger to not just to survive, but to thrive.
