World Poverty

Much about poverty is obvious enough, particularly the relationship between World Poverty and necessity. Poverty is the lack of basic necessities that all human beings must have such as food and water, shelter, education, medical care, security, and so on. A multi-dimensional issue, poverty exceeds all social, economic, and political boundaries. As such, efforts to alleviate poverty must be informed of a variety of different factors.

In a new era of world, 4.4 billion people live in developing countries.

·         3/5 Lack basic sanitation and almost

·         1/3 Have no access to clean water.

·         1/4 Does not have adequate housing.

·         1/5  Has no access to modern health services.

In 1997 the richest 5th of the world’s population had 74 times the income of the poorest 5th. While, the top 3rd billionaires have assets greater than the combined GNP (Gross National Product) of all least developed countries and their 600 million people.

Food supplies are vital necessity and free health care is necessary for development. Malnutrition causes severe health problems, and can also affect education. Without education, it is difficult to escape from poverty. In poor countries, the percentage of children who die under the age of five is much higher than in rich countries. This becomes a vicious circle for people who live in poverty and cannot afford to send their children to school. When war or conflict in the country upheavals (including civil war) causing disrupted basic services such as education. People leave their homes will become refugees. Various crops also destroyed.

Most poverty countries lose economic resources through unfair trade agreements, lack of technology and investment, and rapidly changing prices for their goods. This means they cannot afford to spend enough on basic services like health and education, nor on things like transport or communications that might attract investment. Many people of the world poverty that have land, had taken over by large companies to grow crops for export.

 Everyone has the right to a standard of living adequate for the health and well-being of their self and family, including food, housing, education, medical care and necessary social services. First of all it's so important to promote and support education. Children need to have the tools available to them in order to learn to go to high school, college, and beyond to gain the finances to support not only themselves, but also their families. By having education available for children and having people that support and believe in the education of children can reduce poverty for many people and give these children the opportunity to live a wonderful and rewarding life.

Second we need to help these poor countries by promoting a need for charity, a need for involvement from those that are better off, and a need for organizations that can support these people in need. Partnerships are so important in change and there are a lot of people out there than can financially provide these partnerships. Hold food drives, since so many of these people are starving and can't afford food. With food drives, a few dollars from each person can make the world of a difference in providing food for these people to have at least two meals a day.

Thirdly we need to encourage those that are better off to reuse their products by donating them to charity. In millions of people's homes there are thousands of items that aren't being put to use that someone else would be able to make great use of.

 It's very hard for everyone to always accomplish goals on their own and we are much stronger when we have support from others. Poverty destroys many children’s dreams and it is time to say stop. It is time to integrate with each other for one cause because these people need us, it is time to show that we have golden hearts and we really understand how serious the problem with hunger is and it is time to be people and to show that we care not only for ourselves, but also for others in our planet.  With the help from the people that are able to provide and the willingness from those who need it great change can be made.

It's impossible for majority of the people living in poverty to change a way of life, if they haven't been taught anything different. By providing those people with the knowledge and tools we have been presented with, they too can live a life that we live and love every single day. So let’s help before it is too late and let’s show these people that they are not alone and somebody somewhere cares about them.
