Poverty remains a global problem, depriving many of basic needs like food, water, shelter, and education. Over 800 million people face hunger each night and nearly 50,000 people die daily due to poverty-related causes. Poverty also contributes to issues like terrorism, human trafficking, child labor, and disease outbreaks. Long term solutions are needed that teach skills and self-sufficiency rather than just temporary aid. Governments and individuals can help by prioritizing anti-poverty programs, raising awareness, and donating time and resources to address local poverty-related problems.
