Poverty is defined as a lack of material possessions or money relative to wealth. Extreme poverty occurs when household resources are insufficient for basic needs like food, healthcare, and shelter. Poverty is caused by factors such as overpopulation, lack of jobs, education and resources, as well as family circumstances. It is most prevalent in highly populated urban areas where there are fewer jobs and opportunities which can lead to poverty and violence. Several organizations are working to address poverty through initiatives focused on food security, sustainable development, and philanthropic efforts.
