Response on Poverty

Poverty affects people all over the world. The World Bank definition explains it, as 27 Poverty is hunger. Poverty is lack of shelter. Poverty is being sick and not being able to see a doctor. Poverty is not having access to school and not knowing how to read. Poverty is not having a job is fear for the future living one day at a time. Poverty is losing a child to illness brought about by unclean water. Poverty is powerlessness lack of representation and freedom. 27 because in 2005 850million people every day went to bed hungry and 1 billion people all over the world only make 24 a day. So poverty has a still does affect most of the people in the world. A lot of people starve because they only get from 4 to 6 bags of corn every harvest witch gives them very little income and food. Poverty is when you are living in bad condition but extreme poverty is when you are lacking all basic need and is living in bad conditions. A poverty trap is when you are forced into poverty by war and other things. You can help by giving to the poor and charity and you can give the things to the Red Cross. I helped people in South Africa that were begging for food and so I went and got them some bread.
