A community or society lacks the resources and income necessary to meet basic needs for a minimum standard of living. These basic needs typically include food, shelter, clothing, education, healthcare, and access to clean water and sanitation.
Brick Klin workers are our specific target population who live in intergenerational poverty. They often take their kids to work for them and push them to forced child labor, taking their right to education.
Poverty reduction is not immediate and may take time to materialize. We identify people living in intergenerational poverty and provide resources to their children to get them education and food support.
Education plays a crucial role in ending poverty and promoting socio-economic development.
It is widely recognized that education is a powerful tool for empowering individuals, improving livelihoods, and breaking the cycle of intergenerational poverty. We work hard to seek people lost in intergenerational poverty through education and skill development.
Poverty can manifest in various forms, such as absolute poverty and relative poverty:
1
Relative Poverty
Relative poverty is defined in comparison to the general standard of living within a particular society. It refers to a situation where people have significantly lower income and resources compared to the average population, leading to social exclusion and limited access to opportunities.
2
Absolute Poverty
This refers to the lack of basic necessities to maintain a minimal standard of living, often measured by a specific income threshold or a set of criteria. The World Bank, for instance, defines extreme poverty as living on less than $1.90 per day (as of 2021).
