Poverty Awareness
Is Poverty Definable?
“Poverty is the state one can’t have any amount to save since even what she/he has is not enough for the day.”
- Ugandan Woman
“Poverty is caused due to lack of job opportunities; poverty is caused due to lack of education.
- William, 15 yrs, Uganda
"Poverty is anything that affects people when they lack of income to find their needs at home."
- 13 yrs, Uganda
In a society that is often anxious to do something about the wrongs it encounters. I have realized from my experiences this summer in Uganda that understanding is essential before working in the world of poverty and development.
My eyes were opened to the endless facets of poverty.
This website seeks to educate about global poverty and only skim the surface of its variety of definitions. I am confident in saying that poverty is multidimensional and stems from a lack of power and resources.
