Poverty is not about having an enough money to meet our wants and needs including our food, shelter, and clothes. However, poverty is much more than just not having enough money to provide our wants and needs. Nowadays, our country is suffering poverty due to many children was abandoned by their parents and just roaming around street.
In addition to a lack of money, poverty is about not being able to participate in any activities, not being able to send children on a day trip with their schoolmates or to a birthday party, not being able to pay for medications for an illness. These are all costs of being poor. Those people who are hardly able to pay for food and shelter simply cannot consider these other expenses.
There is no one cause of poverty, and the results of it are different in every case. Poverty varies considerably depending on the situation. These may be defined as fine as “those necessary for survival” or as broadly as “those reflecting the prevailing standard of living in the community.” It is important that all members of our society work together to provide the opportunities for all our members to reach their full potential. It helps all of us to help one another.
