The first step in conquering any problem is to acknowledge that there is one. There are numerous factors that can cause people to live in poverty such lack of income, lack of resources that ensure sustainable lives, limited or lack of education and services, lack of participation in decision making and loss of livelihood as a result of economic recession or disaster. Most of our communities here in the Bronx and ajoining ones are living way too far below the poverty line. There are ways that we can aid in the fight against poverty by being aware not only individually but collectively. In order to make an impact pertaining to poverty we have to make others aware as well. We have to educate others of our cause and let them know how they can help. Former an action plan by reaching out to different organizations that are working to fight poverty and have then contribute the cause. Try not to make unnecessary or wasteful purchase. Instead of spending that money donate it to the cause. Finally get involved in the most efficient way possible to volunteer your time and energy to help whether it is serving food at a shelter, distributiing food or clothing in different areas of the community or volunteer as a missionary. We are our brother and sister keeper and it is our Christian duty to take care of the lest fortunate. People living in poverty are a very vulnerable group and must be supported in all areas and aspects of their lives.
