Here's a map depicting human poverty.

Poverty is not just a financial state. Being poor affects life in many ways. The human poverty index uses indicators that capture non-financial elements of poverty, such as life expectancy, adult literacy, water quality, and children that are underweight. The highest human poverty index scores are in Central Africa, the lowest are in Japan.
