Along with millions of others around the around the world Josh has committed to eat and drink on $1.50 for at least one entire day during the May 7th - May 11th 2012 challenge week in order to shed light on the 1.4 BILLION people who live in extreme poverty every day. $1.50 is the U.S. equivalent of the extreme poverty line – a number that the Global Poverty Project hopes to change by increasing the number and effectiveness of people taking action to see an end to extreme poverty.

Thousands of other volunteers around the globe will campaign to raise money for NGOs who provide life-saving work focusing on issues of extreme poverty. The intent is to gain perspective into the lives of the 1.4 billion people living in the world’s poorest countries who have no choice but to live that way every day. Their participation in this awareness and fundraising campaign Live Below the Line will help draw attention to these issues and build a movement of passionate people willing and able to take meaningful action in the movement to end extreme poverty within our generation.
