SECTION 1
POVERTY
Poverty is the state of one who lacks a certain amount of material
possessions or money. Absolute poverty or destitution refers to
the deprivation of basic human needs, which commonly includes food,
water, sanitation, clothing, shelter, health care and education.

In economics, the cycle of poverty is the set of factors or events
by which poverty, once started, is likely to continue unless there
is outside intervention.

POVERTY
THRESHOLD
The poverty threshold, or poverty line, is the minimum level of income
deemed adequate in a given country. In practice, like the definition
of poverty, the official or common understanding of the poverty line
is significantly higher in developed countries than in developing
countries. The common international poverty line has in the past been
roughly $1 a day. In 2008, the World Bank came out with a revised
figure of $1.25 at 2005 purchasing-power parity (PPP).

INDEX
The Human Poverty Index, developed by the United Nations
Development Program (UNDP), offers an indication of the
standard of living in a country.
For highly developed countries, the United Nations considers
that the Human Poverty Index can better reflect the extent
of deprivation compared to the Human Development Index.

Children from economically disadvantaged communities are rarely
prepared to succeed in kindergarten and future endeavors; quality
early childhood education can be the catalyst that equips them
for success.
