A couple from the Pristina suburb live with only 90 euros per month. According to the World Bank in Kosovo, 18 per cent of the population lives on less than two euros a day. Kosovo is considered one of the poorest countries in Europe.
According to the United Nations, October 17 of each year marks the International Day for Poverty Reduction.
Since 1993, this day has been an awareness of the need for global poverty and especially in developing countries.
Various nongovernmental organisations and charity communities support this day by calling on leaders and government officials to make the fight against poverty a priority in their agenda.
On October 17, 1987, more than 100,000 gathered in Paris to honor victims of extreme poverty, violence, and hunger.
From then on, individuals and organizations worldwide view October 17 as a day in which their commitment to end poverty can be remembered.
And since October 17 was recognized as an official day in 1993, in many other countries this day has been commemorated since 1987.
