Living On One InfoGraphic "Crowdsourcing To End Extreme Poverty" The award winning film, founded and directed by Zach Ingrasci and Chris Temple was created to help drive awareness and engagement in sustainable poverty alleviation efforts, including microfinance, that empower students, women, and people living below the poverty line. By providing much needed opportunities like access to savings accounts and small loans, the poor can bring themselves out of poverty. “Education and awareness were two of the main drivers for creating the film Living On One Dollar. We wanted to share this powerful and urgent story in a compelling manner that enabled people to feel like they can be a part of the solution. We wanted it to be as real to them as it is to our friends in Guatemala affected by extreme poverty,” said Zach Ingrasci, Executive Director and Co-founder of Living on One Dollar. “As we release the movie, we want to continue to spark conversation. This series of infographics is just one effort to engage others and inspire us all to create a better world.” The first in the series of infographics, can be viewed at http://bit.ly/ Each new infographic will focus on a different aspect of extreme poverty as well as showcase a success story, inspired by the Living On One Dollar documentary.

About Living On One Dollar: How do over 1 billion people around the world live on less than one dollar a day? Four young friends set out to research and live this reality. Armed with only a video camera and a desire to understand, they spend just 56 dollars each for 56 days in rural Pena Blanca, Guatemala. They battle E. Coli, financial stress, and the realization that there are no easy answers. Yet, the generosity and strength of their neighbors, Rosa, Anthony and Chino gives them resilient hope. They return home transformed and embark on a mission to share their newfound understanding with other students, inspiring and challenging their generation to make a difference.
