Answer:
POVERTY is one of the most prevalent problems faced by the world today. It exists in almost every developing, less developed and under developed country. The United Nation defines poverty fundamentally as the denial of choices and an extreme violation of human dignity. Poverty can also be defined as the lack of basic capacity to actively participate in the society. Poverty means that the people lack basic resources such as food, shelter and clothing. And the bad thing is that they are unable to buy these things because they don’t have the resources to buy them (Wikipedia, 2013). The World Bank defines poverty as the deprivation of the human well-being. The dimensions of such a statement include, low incomes and the inability to buy the basic resources for a good living. The World Bank assumes that low levels of health and education, very limited access to sanitation and clean water, insufficient physical security, insufficient capacity to improve one’s standard of living and a lack of voice.

This also means that around 3 billion people of the world don’t even have $2.5 to spend. And around 80% of the people live under $10 per day. Around 22000 children lose their life every day because of poverty.
