Global poverty

Billions of people live in extreme poverty with almost no income, but that fact often feels too abstract to be meaningful. This prompted statistician Anna Rosling to launch Dollar Street, a project that uses photos to showcase the reality of living in poverty. Photographers have documented hundreds of homes in 50 countries so far, and in each home the photographer spends a day taking photos of up to 135 objects, everything from toothbrushes to shoes.
