What is poverty?
Poverty is not having enough resources to obtain sufficient amounts of life's necessities,
such as food, water, health cere and education.
Without education, most people have very little hope of pulling themselves out of poverty.
Providing education is the most important way to help a community or nation rise above poverty.
Many people think that the best way to the poor of the world is by providing them with food.
Believe it or not, this actually makes things worse! Why?
An ancient Chinese proverb says, "Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day;
teach him how to fish and he will eat for a lifetime."
Supplying food to the poor without teaching them how to grow their own food will help them only
for as long as the food lasts.
But if we can teach poor nations how to farm better and how to create stronger economies
and help them build schools to educate children, these benefits will last a lifetime.
What causes poverty? There are many factors.
There include a dry climate with very little rain, low levels of education, and political and economic
inatability.
The biggest cause of poverty, however, is the ever-widening gap between the rich and the poor.
Did you know that the three richest people in the world have more money than all of the people
in the poorest 48 countries?
This type of inequality exists not only in poor countries but also in the United States.
In fact, the richest 10% of Americans receive almost one third of the nation's income.
Poverty will not be an easy problem to solve.
Can you think of any idea that might help wipe out poverty in the world.
