Mahatma Gandhi said,"Poverty is the worse form of violence".
The UN reports that over 940 million people (almost one-sixth of the
world's population) live in abject poverty.
Poverty is
- hunger
- lack of shelter
- being sick and not being able to see a doctor or purchase medication
- not being able to go to school, or
- not having a job, its fear for the future
- living one day at a time
- losing a child to illness brought about by unclean water or
sanitation
- powerlessness, suppression, lack of representation and isolation
- the most horrible suffering in the world!
