The Bottom 100 - Gallery Launch

The Fund for Peace launches inaugural Bottom 100 to mark World Refugee Day

The Bottom 100 reveals the personal stories of one hundred of the world’s poorest individuals across the globe who are struggling to live. While 'Rich Lists' detail the wealthiest individuals, their assets, investments and net worth, The Bottom 100 highlights people and families facing extreme poverty caused by war, ethnic, religious, or social persecution, climate change or forced displacement. Many within The Bottom 100 have been forced to flee their homes and countries, leaving behind everything they own and any security for their future.

The launch of The Bottom 100 is aimed at providing a platform to remind Governments, businesses and influential international organisations to provoke greater action and give hope to the refugee community that they have light at the end of the tunnel with a solution to end their plight.

A gallery of The Bottom 100 will be open to the public in Sydney’s Surry Hills from 20th June until 23rd June (6-8pm) and on the 24th June (10am - 4pm). Visitors can see the faces of those within The Bottom 100 and read more about their stories of struggle and survival.
