The World

If we could turn the population of the earth into a small community of 100 people, keeping the same proportions we have today, it would be something like this...

61 Asians.

12 Europeans.

08 North Americans.

05 South America and the Caribbean.

13 Africans.

1 Oceania.

50 women.

50 men.

47 lives in urban area.

12 are disabled.

33 are Christian. (Catholics, Protestants, Orthodox, Anglicans and other Christians)

21 are Muslims.

13 are Hindus.

6 are Buddhists.

1 Sikhs.

1 Jews.

11 are non-religious.

11 practice other religions.

3 Atheists.

43 live without basic sanitation.

18 live without an improved water source.

20 people own 75% of the entire world income.

14 are hungry or malnourished.

12 can't read.

Only 12 have a computer.

Only 8 have an internet connection.

1 adult, aged 15-49, has HIV/AIDS.

The village spends USD 1.24 trillion on military expenditures.

and only USD 100 billion on development aid.


If you keep your food in a refrigerator.
And your clothes in a closet.
If you have a roof over your head.
And have a bed to sleep in.

You are richer than 75% of the entire world population.

21 people live on USD 1.25 per day or less.

Appreciate what you have.
And do your best for a better world.
