Poverty is defined as the state of being extremely poor or lacking sufficient resources compared to average standards. Causes of poverty include individual responsibility theories, intergenerational poverty, and lack of jobs and resources. Effects of poverty are homelessness, inability to afford healthcare and prolonged illness, and children missing school. Efforts to alleviate poverty include local and international societies that provide donations and aid, as well as government programs like the Marshall Plan that distribute money to poor countries. Individual actions to help include reducing food waste, donating to charities, and fundraising.
