1. Poverty in developing countries By: Tania González Cristina González María León Esther Sáez

2. Poverty is the lack of basic necessities that all human beings must have: food and water, shelter, education, medical care, security, etc. A multi-dimensional issue, poverty exceeds all social, economic, and political boundaries. As such as efforts to alleviate poverty must be informed of a variety of different factors. - 4.4 billion people live in developing countries. figures Of these three-fifths lack basic sanitation Almost one third have no access to clean water A quarter do not have adequate housing A fifth have no access to modern health services

3. Why? - In 1997 the richest fifth of the world’s population had 74 times the income of the poorest fifth. - The top three billionaires have assets greater than the combined GNP of all least developed countries and their 600 million people.

5. Poverty...what is that? Poverty doesn't know your age, or the colour of your skin, it doesn't even care about the poor state that you're in. It doesn't want to know, if you're hungry, or you're cold, it just keeps calm and quiet, while head bent you hold. Many who have met it are still with it today, not through their own choices, but by it not giving way. Desperately needing clothes or shoes, so into purse you peer, you'll have to wait another week, or visit charities you fear. IT knows you've got little money, and this never defends, it knows you'll have to borrow, from loan sharks, or from friends It doesn't even blink an eye, when you're worse off than before, he swears, that it's your own fault, you must have known the score.

7. If this doesn’t affect you and us, why should we care? Imagine yourself representing the half of the population living in poverty. Put yourself in someone else’s shoes. If we don´t stop poverty soon, the world will be a completely different place, and everyone must go through the change. To name a few, the world population will change, and malnutrition will spread throughout the world.
