Nowadays, extreme poverty is a problem that affects more than 767 million people around the world; these people have to survive with less than $ 1.90 dollars a day. In turn, extreme poverty brings hunger and health issues because people living in poverty lack the necessary resources to buy food and eat healthily, as a result, their health deteriorates. For this reason, in order to combat extreme poverty and hunger worldwide, the United Nation and its members adopted the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) for 2016-2030 in 2015.

The SDGs is an international plan or agenda that has 17 goals, which are expected to be achieved by the year 2030.
