Since then, the global response has come a long way and serves as a model of how to address a public health crisis. AIDS-related deaths have dropped by more than half since their peak in the early 2000s. And now, 27.5 million people have access to life-saving treatments.

Chances are, most people you talk to would likely agree that it’s important to end poverty. But, if you were to ask all those people to explain poverty, chances are you would get a lot of different answers. Poverty is complicated, and there’s no one answer to what it means. On top of that, there are a number of causes and solutions.
