Poverty Reduction

We need to reduce poverty as it is such a horrible thing.

People going through Poverty have no choice but to keep going through it, we can change this, we can do something about it but people in places like: Africa, would love to get out of their poor living conditions and come to a rich country like Australia or England, etc. The things that we think are nothing, just simple everyday things, well people who are in Poverty would find that what we find nothing, they actually struggle to do. That is why it is so important that we reduce Poverty.

Summary and Background

What is Poverty?

Poverty is where you are starving hungry but you are so poor that you cannot afford your next meal, and you do not know when that is going to be. Poverty is not having a house or a home, not roof over your head, nowhere to go when it rains. Poverty is where you cannot afford medicine. Poverty is not being able to give those who have died a proper farewell and Goodbye, where you can’t bury them, or scatter there ashes because that isn’t an option as they can’t not get put in a coffin to get burnt. Poverty is where you know that you will always be going through this situation – (poverty), as you cannot afford anything because you have no money so it is an endless cycle, which is really sad as people going through poverty have such a bad life.

Why does Poverty Occur?

About 1.7 billion people live in absolute poverty. Poverty is where people struggle to afford basic human needs. This is due to the fact that the people in the community get a very little income, which means that the poverty life cycle begins, so poverty occurs really based on the fact of a very low income. If people got paid more money then poverty could be avoided.

What can be done about Poverty?

If Employers paid their workers more money then poverty would not exist. Poverty is all about money because if you do not have very much money then you obviously can’t afford human supplies, which means that you will get sick and probably die, or if you survive with having nothing then you will live a very miserable life.

What organisations are currently being done to address Poverty Reduction?

There are a few organisations, such as :

·        Prosthetics Outreach Foundation.

·        United Prosperity.

·        Act Now.

·        Fight Poverty.

·        4Ever Poverty.

It is really great that there are so many organisations to help Poverty, as these poor people really need help and support.

What can we do to address Poverty?

We can get people to do charity work out there and fly over food and clean water supplies, and set up a community where people get paid a fair amount of money, so that we put a stop to poverty.
