Poverty is a widespread global issue affecting billions of people in developing countries. Many lack basic necessities like clean water, sanitation, adequate housing, and access to healthcare and education. The causes of poverty are complex and include issues with trade agreements, debt, land ownership, conflict, gender inequality, and environmental degradation. Alleviating poverty requires concerted global efforts across many areas like increasing aid, promoting fair trade, achieving UN poverty targets, and addressing the root causes that perpetuate the cycle of poverty.

Poverty in Africa: What Africa needs now?Azhari Sadig
Poverty in Africa refers to the lack of basic human needs faced by certain segments of African society. African nations typically fall toward the bottom of any list measuring small size economic activity, such as income per capita or GDP per capita, despite a wealth of natural resources.

My entry for Illy's contest to design a series of graphics for coffee mugs , inspired by some famous cities around the world.
I chose to represent every given city by a font that recalls the main perceived features of the city environment and way of life, along with a thematic element (mostly famous buildings) embedded in the lettering of the city's name.
Example of a newsletter that I wrote for the Services Commerce Capabilities group, in which I explained the release scope items that the group had delivered in the past quarter, along with each item's associated business value to both customers and the company.
this presentation is about the comparison of first world and third world countries and it mainly highlights about the problems faced by third world countries.
Despite global effort it is estimated that about 2.2 billion people still live in poverty, and that approximately 80 of this figure is made up of people living in rural areas. The Sustainable Development Goals SDGs of the 2030 Agenda include as its number 1 goal, the goal to end poverty. However, the report by the World Bank 2018 stated that putting an end to poverty is proving to be one of the greatest human rights challenges the modern world faces.The Sustainable Development Goals SDGs which are an extension of the Millennium Development Goals MDGs was adopted on September 2015 by the United Nations Assembly to fight against poverty and eradicate human deprivation.This paper presents a brief introduction on poverty laws, discusses possible challenges and the way forward.

Poverty
1.
2. Poverty is the lack of basic necessities
that all human beings must have: food
and water, shelter, education, medical
care, security, etc. A multi-dimensional
issue, poverty exceeds all social,
economic, and political boundaries. As
such, efforts to alleviate poverty must
be informed of a variety of different
factors.
3. •
4.4 billion people live in developing countries.
Three-fifths lack basic sanitation
Of these …
Almost one third have no access to clean
water
A quarter do not have adequate
housing
A fifth have no access to modern
health services
5. ... In 1997 the richest fifth of the
world’s population had 74 times
the income of the poorest fifth.
..The top three billionaires have
assets greater than the combined
GNP of all least developed
countries and their 600 million
people.
6. Everyone has the right to a standard of living
adequate for the health and well-being of him/
(her)self and his/(her) family, including food,
clothing, housing and medical care and
necessary social services... Everyone has the
right to education.

Have a cake sale
Wear the white
Wristband for 2005
Buy a red nose for
Comic Relief
Have a school

9. Causes of third world
poverty
Trade
Third world countries lose out
through unfair trade agreements,
lack of technology and
investment, and rapidly changing
prices for their goods.
10. Work and globalisation
Better communications and transport have
led to a “globalised” economy. Companies
look for low-cost countries to invest in. This
can mean that, though there are jobs, they
are low-paid.
War or conflict
When a country is at war (including civil war)
basic services like education are disrupted.
People leave their homes as refugees. Crops are
destroyed.
11. Debt
Third world countries have to pay interest on their
debts. This means they cannot afford to spend
enough on basic services like health and
education; nor on things like transport or
communications that might attract investment.
Land
If you have land you can grow your own food.
But many people in the Third World have had
their land taken over by large businesses, often
to grow crops for export.
12. Health
Affordable or free health care is
necessary for development. In poor
countries the percentage of children who
die under the age of five is much higher
than in rich countries. HIV/AIDS is having
a devastating effect on the Third World.
HIV is now the single greatest threat to future economic
development in Africa. AIDS kills adults in the prime of their
working and parenting lives, decimates the work force, fractures
and impoverishes families, orphans millions...
· Callisto Madavo, vice-president of the World Bank, Africa
region 1999
13. • Food and education
Affordable, secure food supplies are vital.
Malnutrition causes severe health problems, and
can also affect education. Without education it is
difficult to escape from poverty. This becomes a
vicious circle – people who live in poverty cannot
afford to send their children to school.
Gender
When we measure poverty we find differences
between the level experienced by men or boys,
and women or girls. Women may be disadvantaged
through lack of access to education; in some
countries they are not allowed to own or inherit
land; they are less well paid than men.
14. • Environment
A child born in an industrialised country will add
more to pollution over his or her lifetime than 30-
50 children born in the Third World. However, the
third world child is likely to experience the
consequences of pollution in a much more
devastating way. For example, annual carbon
dioxide emissions have quadrupled in the last 50
years. This contributes to global warming, leading
to devastating changes in weather patterns.
Bangladesh could lose up to 17% of its land area
as water levels rise.
15. Poverty Targets
2015 poverty targets
Members of the Organisation for Co-operation and
Development (OECD) agreed these after the 1995
Copenhagen summit. They aim to reduce poverty in
third world countries by at least one half by 2015.
20/20 initiative
At the same summit some governments agreed that
20% of aid and 20% of the budget of the developing
country receiving that aid would be spent on basic
services.
·
16. Aid
Access to basic services for everyone would cost
approximately $US40 billion more per year than is
spent now. This is 0.1% of world income. World
military spending is $US780 billion per year. US$50
billion is spent on cigarettes in Europe every year.
Fair trade
Fair trade guarantees higher, more stable prices for
third world producers. Look out for products with a
Fairtrade Mark.

18. Poverty! what is that?
Poverty doesn't know your age, or the colour of your skin, he
doesn't even care about the poor state that you're in.
He doesn't want to know, if you're hungry, or you're cold, he just
keeps calm and quiet, while head bent you hold.
Many who have met him? are still with him today, not through
their own choices, but by him not giving way.
Desperately needing clothes or shoes, so into purse you peer,
you'll
have to wait another week, or visit charities you fear.
He knows you've little money, and this he never defends, he knows
you'll have to borrow, from loan sharks, or from friends
He doesn't even blink an eye, when you're worse off than before,
he
swears, that it's your own fault, you must have known the score.
