Poverty is defined as not having enough resources to meet basic needs like food, shelter, and clothing. The World Bank describes poverty as hunger, lack of shelter, inability to access healthcare or education. Poverty has many causes including lack of jobs or livelihoods, inequality, lack of education, climate change, and lack of infrastructure. Effects of poverty include poor health from diseases like malaria and tuberculosis, increased crime, lack of education, and unemployment. Addressing poverty requires individual and societal action.

thGAP - Transgenic Human Germline Alternatives Project, presents an evening of input lectures, discussions and a performative workshop on artistic interventions for future scenarios of human genetic and inheritable modifications.
To begin our lecturers, Marc Dusseiller aka "dusjagr" and Rodrigo Martin Iglesias, will give an overview of their transdisciplinary practices, including the history of hackteria, a global network for sharing knowledge to involve artists in hands-on and Do-It-With-Others (DIWO) working with the lifesciences, and reflections on future scenarios from the 8-bit computer games of the 80ies to current real-world endeavous of genetically modifiying the human species.
We will then follow up with discussions and hands-on experiments on working with embryos, ovums, gametes, genetic materials from code to slime, in a creative and playful workshop setup, where all paticipant can collaborate on artistic interventions into the germline of a post-human future.

2. What is POVERTY?
It is about not having
enough money to meet
basic needs including
food, clothing, shelter.
It is simply the state of
being poor.
3. The World Bank Organization
describes poverty in this way:
“Poverty is hunger. Poverty is lack of shelter.
Poverty is being sick and not being able to see
a doctor. Poverty is not having access to school
and not knowing how to read. Poverty is not
having a job, is fear for the future, living one
day at a time .”
4. “Poverty has many faces, changing from place to
place and across time, and has been described in
many ways. Most often, poverty is a situation
people want to escape. So poverty is a call to
action—for the poor and the wealthy alike—a
call to change the world so that many more may
have enough to eat, adequate shelter, access to
education and health, protection from violence,
and a voice in what happens in their
communities .
5. Causes of Poverty
Little or no access to livelihoods
or jobs.
Inequality
Poor Education
Climate Change
Lack of Infrastructure
6. Little or no access to
livelihoods or jobs
Without a job or a way to make
money, people will face poverty.
Particularly in developing and rural
parts of the world, dwindling access
to productive land and
overexploitation of resources like fish
or minerals is putting increasing
pressure on many traditional
livelihoods.
7. Inequality
There are many different types of
inequalities in the world, from
economic to social inequalities like
gender, caste systems, or tribal
affiliations. But no matter the
inequality, it generally means the
same thing : unequal or no access
to the resources needed to keep or
lift a family out of poverty.
8. Poor Eduction
Many families can’t afford to send their
children to school and need them to work.
Education is often referred to as the great
equalizer, and that’s because education can
open the door to jobs and other resources
and skills that a family needs to not just
survive, but thrive. UNESCO estimates that
171million people could be lifted out of
extreme poverty if they left school with
basic reading skills
9. CLIMATE CHANGE
The impacts of climate change affect
every country on every continent. The
increased frequency and intensity of
extreme weather events like hurricanes,
wildfires and droughts threaten the
world's food supply, drive people from
their homes, separate families and
jeopardize livelihoods. And all of these
effects increase the risk of conflict,
hunger and poverty.
10. Lack of Infrastructure
A lack of infrastructure – from roads,
bridges, and wells to cables for light,
cellphones, and internet– can isolate
communities living in rural areas. Living
“off the grind” means the inability to go to
school, work, or market to buy and sell
goods. Travelling farther distances to
access basic services not only takes time, it
cost money, keeping families in poverty.
11. Effects of Poverty
Poor Health
Globally, millions suffer from poverty-
related health condition as infectious diseases
ravage the lives of an estimated 14 million
people a year and are top effects of poverty.
These diseases are contracted through sources
like contaminated water, the absence of water
and sanitation, lack of access to proper
healthcare.
12. Common Diseases linked to
Poverty:
1. Malaria – is referred to as the poor man’s
disease caused by a parasite. It is contracted
through mosquito bites.
2. Tuberculosis – is a bacteria- born disease. The
bacterium, mycobacterium tuberculosis,
targets the lungs.
3. HIV/AIDS – this infection attacks the immune
system and is contacted by contact with certain
fluids in the body. This is left untreated.
13. Crime
There’s an old adage that says, ”
If a man don’t work, he don’t eat.”
That’s not the case for a large number
people living in poverty. Lack of
economic opportunity leads to
impoverishment which then leads to
crime.
14. Global unemployment is
at a high point. One hundred ninety-
two million people around the world
are jobless. In some parts of the
world, mainly poor parts,
unemloyment standings will drive
this number higher.
15. Lack of Education –
there is the direct correlation between
low academic performance and poverty.
Children who are exposed to extreme
levels of poverty have difficulty with
cognitive development, speech, and
managing stress, which leads to adverse
behaviour. Where there is poverty, there
is lack of education, joblessness, and
poor health.
16. Poverty starts in our
society so therefore as the
hope of this nation the
change and solution must
start in you. Put you words
into action, because action
speaks louder than words.
