Live Below the Line is an initiative of the Global Poverty Project, an education and campaigning organization whose mission is to increase the number and effectiveness of people taking action against extreme poverty.

The challenge asks you to take a day, or five, and live on $1.50 or less to see what life is like for the 1.4 billion people who live below the poverty line every day.

“The intention is to increase awareness that will drive action to support poverty,” said Michael Trainer, U.S. country director for the Global Poverty Project, in an interview with Mashable.com .
