Poverty is defined as having little money, goods, or means of support. The document outlines causes of poverty such as lack of clean water, healthcare, shelter, food, and pollution. Statistics show that 1.9 billion children lack resources, with 1/3 lacking shelter, 1/5 lacking safe water access, and 1/7 lacking healthcare services. 121 million children do not receive an education. Solutions proposed to reduce poverty rates include installing wells, teaching food acquisition, providing shelters, building schools, offering medical treatment, and constructing small medical clinics.
