We applied a little survey to 25 people from different ages, that go from 16 years old to 55 years old, as we can see in the image 1, about how much they knew about the organizations that fight against poverty and starvation. As shown in image 2, 56% of the people interviewed knew some organizations that fight against poverty. While 68% of the people interviewed, as shown in image 3, knew about organizations that fight against starvation.
Image 3. People who know organizzations that fights against poverty.
Image 4 shows that the organizations that are better known by the interviewed were UNESCO (with 96%), UNICEF (with 88%) and United Nations (with 60%).
As shown in image 5 and 6, 80% of the people said that they knew the countries that suffered the most from poverty and starvation. They considered, with the 68%, that the country which was suffering the most from poverty and hunger was South Africa, followed by Haiti with 60%, India with 56% .
We can see in image 7 that 64% of all the people interviewed said that they knew that the 80% of Mexico is living under extreme poverty conditions.
As we can see in image 8, only 32% of people interviewed knew about the 17 sustainable development goals.
We also asked the people what problems should organizations focus on. Most people said that poverty and pollution are the most important problems to cover, but problems such as starvation, education, discrimination, war, unemployment, and violations of human rights were mentioned as well. Then we asked people to say why is it important to solve these issues. They mostly answered that we need to do it to improve life quality, to have a better future for the upcoming generations and to progress as a society. Finally, we asked people if they have ever volunteered in any organization, the results were that only 20% of the interviewed have volunteered.
