Hunger and World Poverty


Poverty means the lack of resources to afford basic human needs. Poverty is a global issue that entire world has been facing a long time ago. Poverty itself causes a lot of other things like hunger. According to the United Nations, about 25,000 people die every day of hunger or hunger-related causes!! And unfortunately most of these people are children. And we know that there is a lot of food around the world, but the problem here is poverty. They don’t have the enough resources to pay for food. And like they don’t have the enough money to pay for food they need to take food from the trash or things like that, so they are malnourished. With this they are more propane to have disease and they are weaker and this enables them to work and they can’t have money. As we can see this is like a cycle all is connected.

There are some programs that try to decrease poverty. For example, there are jobs were they are paid with food by making structures, school, etc.For children there is a program that if they go to school they receive food.

I think that this is good way to make decrease poverty, because if children are having education they can work and also they are having food so they can be nourish and with energy to go to school. And adults are having work and food at the same time. It is a good way that in al the world should be practiced.
