    i think it is useful because it shows when poverty is mostly at.
  •  
    This article is about the countries that are effected most by poverty and gives plenty of solutions to poverty. One example of a solution is to improve the training and equipment of agricultural farmers to increase crop yields and conserve the environment.
  •  
    This shows the solutions to world poverty and it shows the amount of poverty all over the world.
  •  
    This article explains the different "Types" of poverty, like in the U.S compared to africa. It also gives solutions to abolish this mess.
  •  
    I like that site 'cause it tells you how poverty can be solved. oh, and I like the graphs because they give you an idea of where poverty is in the world if you don't know.. c:

Facts On Poverty - 8 views

  •  
    This article gives facts and statistics that could be useful for research. It struck me that 1 in 4 kids in developing countries are underweight. makes me realize that i want to give back but i don't know how

    More people die as a result of extreme poverty than of any other cause. I wanna know what from poverty, from not being able to buy food or is it from not being able to go to a doctor when they are sick? Is it both? I wanna know what exactly is it. I was hurt to find out the 10 million kids in developing countiers die before the age of 5. Its painful to hear about thoose things and now at this moment i am woundering what is for lunch and i had breakfast this morning and that i am already 13 and have had a nice life so far but some kids wont even get to be my age.
  •  
    Thia gives a lot of facts about poverty, that you would not think about, i can't believe that their are 1.37 billion people living on less than 1.25 a day
  •  
    I can not believe how sad some of this facts are. I did not know that 1/3 of deaths are accounted for by poverty (hunger, homlessness) That was outragous. I really liked how quick and easy the facts were, so you learned lots in a short amount of time.
  •  
    These statistics account for one third of all human deaths. More people die as a result of extreme poverty than of any other cause. This article says that !8 million people die every year because of poverty and hunger. That is only 1/3 of people accounted for. There is still 2/3 that people dont evenknow about.18 million is a lot of people. But 18 million is only the number of people recorded who died. There are millions of others dieing every year more than recorded. That was a major shock to me. I dont understand how this many people alone struggle with hunger. They could go days without food in their bodys. That just amazes me.
  •  
    Its so so sad to see all of the people effected by poverty, and how many people die from it

Why Teen Pregnancy Is a Poverty Problem - 19 views

  •  
    This article explains how poverty and teen pregnancy are related.
  • ...21 more comments...
  •  
    That is really shocking! I've never thought that poverty would be related to teen pregancy, but now that I read this it makes so much sense. It's so sad, but it's also promising, because if we can beat poverty, then that can significantly help teen pregnancy.
  •  
    Wowwwww!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! you would never think that teen pregnancy and poverty were related!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  •  
    wow. i agree with avery-you don't really relate poverty and teen pregnancy
  •  
    i don't think that we could beat teen pregnancy. you really can't tell someone to stop you know. but poverty could be beaten easily then again there both decisions. or well teen pregnancy is.
  •  
    or maybe i read the comment wrong.
  •  
    i agree with suzi, this aritcle seems a lil over strong though. i dont like the point of view its coming from
  •  
    ya, you can't really control how many teens get pregnant, but poverty can lead to teen pregnancy (and vice versa).
  •  
    its really sadening that if the mother has not earned a high school diploma or equivalency degree, the child will grow up in poverty 64 percent of the time. i think that this problem needs to be adressed so that we can stop this vicious cycle.
  •  
    i didnt think that teen pregnancy could be related to poverty.
  •  
    I never linked poverty and teen pregnancy to poverty, but after reading thing article, it all makes sence. I also think that it would be really tough to be a teen mom in general, but then on top of that living in poverty. I cant image how hard and stressful that would be on a family.
  •  
    i think its sad that a child born to an unmarried teen mother has a 27 percent chance of growing up in poverty. i mean, how would you feel if that was your mom who made that decision. ?
  •  
    WOAH!!! theres 2.2 billon children in the world and theres 1 billion in poverty:(
  •  
    Its sad that just some dumb mistakes made by teenagers can change there lives forever. and part of beeing a teenager is makeing duimb mistakes, so you can learn and become expirenced adult. But all you can say is "abstinance" I beliveve that the gov't needs to work even harder to prevent it, and really spend some time and money to fight this growing problem.
  •  
    Its so sad, if a baby is born to a poor mom they are more likely to live in poverty when their older
  •  
    I never thought teenage pregnancy would ever be related to poverty. I was amazed at how the numbers of poverty in a state was closely followed by the numbers of teen pregnancy in that area. I would never what to have a kid when I am like 16. But living poverty at the same time must be so hard. It was so shocking how the teen's kid would must likely grow up to be like their parents were. Which is so sad.
  •  
    I thought that this article was interesting because i never would have thought that that getting pregnant would be a cause of poverty.
  •  
    It doesn't really suprise me that teen pregnancy is linked to poverty. Most teenage mothers can't pay for all the costs of a baby.
  •  
    It sad but clearly obvious that teen pregnacy is a vicious cycle. Born to a teen mother, children are likely to grow up in poverty, making it likely that they will get pregnant in their teenage years.
  •  
    This article was very shocking for me. "The report's rankings of states by teen pregnancy rates looks eerily similar to the U.S. Census rankings of states by poverty rates." That line really just took my breath away, because I seriously had no idea that teen pregnancy could be linked to poverty in any way. It just hurt my heart seeing the way that poverty can really have that much of an effect on people.
  •  
    I agree with Kelsey, its not surprsing at all. Yestarday i went to the food pantry and Mr.Maddox noticed a can of maybe formula and said that pint of baby formula lasts two days and costs $15. its crazy how much a child costs and especially for a teen whose not prepared finacually and mentally
  •  
    I liked how this article gave another example of what can cause many people to be in poverty because of. I think its really sad how many young girls throw their life away and have to end up being homeless or in poverty.
  •  
    I think it's sad how 27% of children with teen moms grow up in poverty. They deserve a better life than that even though they can't control who their mom is.
  •  
    I think this site should open peoples eyes. .When i think of causes of poverty this never came to mind. This is a big cause of people who are in poverty. I also feel bad because if you are in poverty you cant provide your kid with the right essentials. And its says that about 27% of kids grow up living in poverty because their mothers were living in poverty too. Dont have sex kids. thanks. (:

Ways to Help Poor People - 3 views

  •  
    i liked how it said help stop proverty by educatong yourself and friends. It reminded me of the qoute at the zoo "plan for a month plant rice plan for a year plant trees plan for a life plant education"

    It is very brilliant to educate people to help stop poverty; for "knowledge equals power," and we need as much power as we can get to cure the "plague" of pverty around the world.
  •  
    I agree that educating people about poverty is one of the best ways to help it and to prevent it. educating people about the effects of poverty and educating people in general so they can go to school and get jobs is good.
  •  
    I also agree that education is one of the ways to help stop poverty. Because if people are educated, they can get a job and provide for the family. It wont solve the probelm all the way because their income may not match up to the amount of money needed to live. But educating people is a good start.
  •  
    it's so nice to see a website full of solutions. i mean, statistics and facts are important, but we need more sites like this that educate and give solutions.
  •  
    I thought the article wasn't the most detailed but it still outlined ways of helping people in poverty
  •  
    I think that this article had some good ideas for helping to stop poverty. It also had links to organizations that help end poverty. The article really showed me how easy it is for us to use organizations to help the world.

Gender and Poverty - 4 views

  •  
    Forgot the tags and comment oops O.o i will post the comment. I find it amazing that 6 out of 10 of the poorest people in the world are women. This will tell you about the difference in gender and poverty!
  • ...2 more comments...
  •  
    I dont think its surprising that more women are in poverty than men.I think there is that certain amount of feminism involved in payment. Sadly this proves it
  •  
    I find the article very sad. I had no clue that poverty could be effected by gender. I was also shocked to see that 75% of women cant get bank loans because they have unpaid or insecure jobs.
  •  
    Knowing that women are the poorest gender is both outragoious and agreeable. Since women are the care takers in the family. But losing 85% of calories getting water, is unhealthy and sad.
  •  
    i think that if women got the same oppritunties as men like in jobs and education, there would be less problem with poverty in women.
