Is this info correct? (the founder of this organization won the nobel prize in 2006):
- Roughly five percent of the 10 million people living in the Dominican Republic live on less than US$1.25 per day.
- Two million people (21 percent of the population) are undernourished.
- Infrastructure is insufficient, as there are only nine telephone lines per 100 people, and 10 percent of the rural population has no access to sterile drinking water.
- The Dominican Republic is 91st among nations in the social well-being of its people, as measured by the Human Development Index.
