Re: WHAT IS POVERTY?
Poverty means living on handouts forever...like being dependant on donor nations.
Illiteracy is poverty...poverty in the financial sense, in common sense and moral sense.
Poverty means people can easily manipulate you for their gains.
Poverty means not having access to opportunities to better yourself.
Poverty keeps you in a state of never being able to look beyond today. If you survive today, you are lucky.
Poverty means you do not have the luxury to mourn for the loss of your loved ones or your property.. you simply acknowledge the loss and move on with your lives.
Corruption is the biggest cause of poverty and ironically the biggest cause of wealth.
