…I would have to enter my income in Global Rich List and find out just how rich I was. How poor are you? Would you rate yourself as in the low, middle, or high bracket of income? Put your income in here (nothing required but income, no email address, no name) and find out where you rate. You might be surprised.
According to the site,
Three billion people live on less than $2 per day while 1.3 billion get by on less than $1 per day. Seventy percent of those living on less than $1 per day are women.
Christian Aid is a Christian organization that supports native missionaries - you can support one for $30-$100 and 100% of that goes to support that missionary. You can also donate money for food, wells, buildings, children’s orphanages, etc, and unless you specify otherwise, 100% of those donations go to the need. They depend on God to supply their needs. Donations given specifically for administration costs provide for the staff.
So since I rank in the top 14% of the world, I guess I am a rich man after all. Um, make that rich woman.
