According to the World Bank, one billion people worldwide live on less than a dollar a day. Of those one billion, many live in homes and communities similar to Meher's. While she is able to receive support from so many generous individuals, there are many who are less fortunate. Microfinance programs can create opportunities for individuals to create a path out of poverty. Even a small donation can have a huge impact.
