Why No help ?

We often hear leaders from rich countries telling poor countries that aid and loans will only be given when they show they are stamping out corruption.

While that definitely needs to happen, the rich countries themselves are often active in the largest forms of corruption in those poor countries, and many economic policies they prescribe have exacerbated the problem.

Conditions of Poverty

People living in conditions of poverty are unable to meet their basic needs for food, shelter, heat, utilities, clothing, transportation, health and child care.   Typically, families living at or above Federal Poverty Level are economically insecure. They must choose which basic needs they will fulfill. In Washington County, families must have annual incomes far above poverty level in order to stay ahead of conditions of poverty. This is based on a family paying no more than 30% of annual income for housing.

What poverty drags with along the way

Poverty includes many things, it makes you cannot afford housing, education, health and it also continues to hunger which is another a world massive issue. Literally, If a country is caught with poverty, its very weak and is like a paralyzed person.

• The GDP (Gross Domestic Product) of the 41 Heavily Indebted Poor Countries (567 million people) is less than the wealth of the world’s 7 richest people combined.
• Nearly a billion people entered the 21st century unable to read a book or sign their names.
• Less than one per cent of what the world spent every year on weapons was needed to put every child into school by the year 2000 and yet it didn’t happen.
• 1 billion children live in poverty (1 in 2 children in the world). 640 million live without adequate shelter, 400 million have no access to safe water, 270 million have no access to health services. 10.6 million died in 2003 before they reached the age of 5 (or roughly 29,000 children per day).
