My personal definition of poverty is an individual or family that is unable to meet the basic needs to survive, not having the ability to perform basic tasks, and not capable of maintaining an effective way of life in society due to their lack of income. Falling short of providing their family or themselves with the essentials to maintain an adequate diet, obtain a quality education, access to healthcare, and having a roof over your head, I personally feel, should be considered underprivileged and living in poverty. Children’s exposure to poor quality conditions should be considered a tremendous problem and must have access to local or government assistance.
