Millions of people lived in poverty in the 90s. I’m one of them.

So far in the 21st century the percentage of the worlds people without access to sufficient calories has been cut by about 1/3. 50 million people per year have been lifted from extreme poverty (living on less than $1.90 per day). In 2000 around 30% of the world's population lived in extreme poverty, today it's less than 10% and is on track to be 0% by the early 30s.
