Did you know the United States poverty line is at $11,770?
That’s just crazy. Think about everything you need to buy. Taxes, groceries,
cell phone bills, cars, electric bills, and clothes. Imagine living like this. I
know it sounds a little bit snotty, but how do these people get by? Well, they
can’t and I think that that is absolutely crazy.
What are the indicators
of poverty and hunger?
1.
Food- body mass index above 16
2.
Safe drinking water- not from rivers and ponds,
close by
3.
Sanitation facilities- accessible toilets
4.
Health- for those who are sick and those who are
pregnant
5.
Shelter- less than 4 people per room
6.
Education- schooling or learning to read
7.
Information- TVs and telephones in the house to
learn information
8.
access to services
