Poverty basically is a state where a person or persons live under tough conditions maybe because of the lack of finances and necessities to enable them have a moderate life style.
Individually, poverty has affected me personally at various stages in my life. i have had to see my parents struggle a lot to in order to make sure that we can at least afford a comfortable living but the conditions out there are just tough. Sometimes we used to have two meals a day and just thank God and move on.
This challenged me as a person to seek out different solutions to curb poverty and halt its spread not only in my country but other countries as well.
First things first, i believe that its not always by choice that that one necessarily finds themselves struck by poverty. Sitting down and not doing anything but just sob about it does not help either. It actually elevates the problem.one simply has to step out and try develop their lives for the better.
In regards to that, i think that those hit by poverty ought to come together, form groups of people with various interests and try putting individual effort into making stuff that can be sold in the market in a bid to create self employment thus slowly by slowly curbing this problem.
Narrowing down to my country Kenya, i think the government ought to set up policies and strategies that should do away with if not reduce poverty in our country.Setting up policies is not everything, action matters.... a lot.
As an individual i have tried my best after attaining the age of 18 to do odd jobs here and there in a bid to reduce dependence on my parents. I believe reducing their burden plays a vital role in halting poverty in my family.
As you read this blog, i want you to give your opinion on it as well as suggest possible solutions to this problem because as we all know working together brings out better results.
Thank You
