It has been predicted that the Island will be underwater by 2030. They have storm serges, erosion and droughts sometimes which has an environmental impact. The Government is training and educating people to leave the Country. They teach people to become Nurses and Doctors. The people of Kiribati are not giving up on their Country.

Poverty Cycle

The cycle of Poverty has been described as a phenomenon where poor families become trapped in poverty for generation because they have no or limited access to critical resources, such as:

·        Education

·        Financial Services

Subsequent generations are also impoverished.

There are multiple cycles of poverty - based on, among other things.

·        Economic

·        Social

·        Spiritual

·        Geographical  factors

Many Cycles overlap or perpetrate new cycles and therefore any attempt to depict the cycle of poverty will be far more simplistic than realistic.
