People that are presently not in poverty and those currently in poverty are both considered ‘vulnerable to poverty’. Household vulnerability is determined by the chances or risk that a household will either fall under the poverty line or if already poor, remain in poverty. If a household has 50% or more odds of falling into poverty or staying in poverty, they are considered to be vulnerable to poverty.

The major causes of poverty are;

  • Lack of shelter
  • Limited access to clean water resources
  • Food insecurity
  • Lack of access to health care
  • Government corruption
  • Poor infrastructure
  • Limited or dwindling natural resources

The three groupings of vulnerability to poverty are the permanent poor due to temporary abnormal events occurring, those becoming poor because of predictable events, and those who become poor because of damage to the economy that affected the household’s profits. However, the fact that many children are still in poverty and are suffering, the Child Rights Act wasn’t as successful as it seemed to be.Poor people often lack hope for the future because they live in a lie.

The lie of poverty, that is reinforced day-in and day-out is, “You don’t matter. You’re worthless.”Imagine not being able to provide enough food for your children or pay for a hospital visit when a child is sick or injured. Imagine the guilt, grief, and despair.The poor are helpless in the face of war and natural disasters. When natural disasters and conflict occur, the poor suffer the most.
