Poverty seems to be the only crime for many people, and many people worldwide are being forced to live in horrendous conditons because of poverty. There are many reasons as to why poverty comes knocking at someone's front door. It lingers there for however long because the victims are often too tired and too hungry to do anything much about it. They do require assistance to their problems, but in most all cases they cannot find anyone that is willing to help them.

Who is affected by poverty?

Poverty does not only affect people in the so called third world countries like India, Asia and Africa. Most people are misled to believe that this is true. In reality this misconception couldn't be further from the truth. The truth is that there are many homeless people living in poverty right here in North America... The United States, and in Canada too.
