Causes of Poverty Complicated and Elusive

Causes of Poverty Related Worldwide

Around the world, the causes of poverty are similar. Lack of finances, health care and education are common causes of poverty. Still, the causes of poverty aren't just about going without materials. Of all the causes of poverty, the most devastating is the lack of hope — a feeling that "I don't matter." This lack of hope keeps children trapped in child poverty for generations to come.

Each year, nearly 10 million poor children don't live past the age of 5. Many of the causes of poverty that lead to these deaths are preventable. By sponsoring a child you can head off the root causes of poverty and become linked to one particular child who will know your name, write to you, and treasure the thought that you care.
