Good day to the excellent audience gathered here. My name is James Andrew A.

Banzali and I'll be giving a morning talk against poverty today! Poverty is defined
as a lack of food, clothing, adequate shelter, medication, education, and other
necessities for a better standard of living. It also guarantees that all people have
equal access to human rights. Poverty is a more severe scenario in which people
are obliged to survive because they lack adequate shelter, clothing, ethical
rights, or educational opportunities. Poverty in any country can be caused by a
variety of factors. Despite the fact that there are several ways to escape poverty,
problems develop as a result of a lack of suitable unity among a country's
citizens in seeking solutions. This is also significant. The reason why the poverty
rate is fast increasing with each passing day.
The spread of pandemic illnesses raises the poverty rate in any country. This is
due to the fact that the majority of poor people in such conditions are unable to
maintain their health and receive adequate medical care. People who live in
hazardous environments and consume dirty food and water are unable to get
necessary services and are more susceptible to being ill and catching illnesses. It
has the effect of rendering people defenseless and jeopardizing their freedom.
This is because a poor individual may become trapped in a cycle of servitude.
However, the individual who is trapped in it must cope with it because it is an
unavoidable situation. Poverty causes people to endure anguish, pain, and
despair. Poverty is a deplorable human condition. Due to a lack of money and
needs, people are unable to live luxuriously and comfortably, with access to all of
life's necessities. This is a negative scenario since it may prevent a child from
attending school and learning throughout his or her childhood, and it also
contributes to more serious social issues such as child labor and slavery.
In these countries, a larger proportion of the population is uneducated,
undernourished, homeless, and lacks adequate shelter and clothing. Poverty also
has a huge impact on the country's economic, social, and political development.
Because they do not have enough money to cover all of their expenses, poor
individuals go without basic needs such as a two-day meal and clean water.
Children from low-income families do not have access to education or the
resources to receive a quality education and medical treatment. Many of them
are unaware of the current improvements that those who are much luckier
enjoy.
