Poverty......

Poverty: Refers to the condition of not having the means to afford basic human needs such as clean water, nutrition, health care, clothing and shelter(wikipedia).

I was pulled in when revealing the unstable life that most human beings under go on a daily base. Did you know that in one day around 25,000 humans die because of hunger and yet we go living our lives at peace? Well not all of us but most people know of poverty and yet only know the word not the meaning or affect behind it. Yet out of those thousands of people most of them are not older but young children who haven't even had a chance to live their life completely. Now I'm not saying our problem is lack of food in this world because trust me if there is one thing we have is food, but these people don't have what is most important in this world for EVERYTHING sadly and that is money. These people are denied the assurance of being healthy and knowing that they will live for one more day because they don't have the money. In my search for a solution that I could become a part of I discovered the website Poverty.com that has shown me the different diseases and consequences this world wide problem has had on our people.
