Topic > The Importance of Poverty - 1338

For me, a poor person is one who lives below 500 Tanzanian shillings/=, or $0.25 per day. People of this type are the majority. I use this estimate just by watching a child come to school from this type of movie without showering. You see such children with dirty clothes, without a notebook, book, pen, pencil or even an eraser. If you continue, you find that the parents of these children suffer from severe poverty. When you visit their homes, there is not even an indication that the drinking water is boiling. They are poor and that means they have no means to earn 0.25 cents a day. Every day they feed on free-range or spontaneous vegetables
