Today is Blog Action Day: this year’s theme is poverty.
From Wikipedia:
Poverty (also called penury) is deprivation of common necessities that determine the quality of life, including food, clothing, shelter and safe drinking water, and may also include the deprivation of opportunities to learn, to obtain better employment to escape poverty, and/or to enjoy the respect of fellow citizens.
If you are in a state of poverty, you are lacking some necessities. By some reckoning, about half of the world’s population lives in poverty.

Dumb Little Man also has a great post on this topic today.
