Here I said, "Since the year 2000, since the turn of the millennium, there are eight million more AIDS patients getting lifesaving antiretroviral drugs;" however, the number of AIDS patients receiving vital drugs is actually larger: Since the year 2000, since the turn of the millennium, there are 13 million more AIDS patients getting lifesaving antiretroviral drugs.

Here I said, "There are eight countries in sub-Saharan Africa that have their death rates cut by 75 percent." But to clarify, by 2012 the rate of malaria deaths in Africa had been cut almost in half from what it was in 2000.

However, I had underestimated the amount the actual rate of children's lives saved daily: For kids under five, child mortality has dropped by 3.1 million a year. That’s a rate of *8,493* fewer children’s deaths each day.

Bono: Dobré zprávy o chudobě (Ano, máme dobré zprávy)

Global efforts to fight poverty and disease have achieved dramatic progress in recent decades. Since 1990, the share of people living in extreme poverty has fallen from 43 percent to 21 percent, and 7,256 fewer children die each day compared to just a decade ago. Transparent data, smart aid, and grassroots activism have fueled this momentum. If the current trajectory holds, extreme poverty could be virtually eliminated by 2030.
