Hans Rosling’s famous lectures – The Joy of Stats – on BBC Four combine enormous quantities of public data with a sport’s commentator’s style to reveal the story of the world’s past, present and future development. Now he explores stats in a way he has never done before – using augmented reality animation.
In this spectacular section of ‘The Joy of Stats’ he tells the story of the world in 200 countries over 200 years using 120,000 numbers – in just four minutes.
Plotting life expectancy against income for every country since 1810, Hans shows how the world we live in is radically different from the world most of us imagine.

In our own small way, AwF is helping to move those data points upwards and to the right.

Christmas – the season of giving – is upon us and what better way to share the spirit than to provide food and a secure future to those most in need.
Your donation of US$ 100 is sufficient to construct a family pond measuring 100 square meters, provide an initial stocking of fish, and training so that a family will have a secure source of food for years to come.
Since many families have four or more children, a donation of US$ 100 will have a direct positive impact on a family of six.
Your generous support can help so many. Please consider donating a fish pond to support a family in the developing world.
