Were you aware that over 700 million people worldwide suffer from extreme poverty? This staggering statistic highlights the importance of the issue we face. The most prevalent stereotypes about people experiencing poverty are that they lack motivation. Many believe the government provides adequate resources and that impoverished people just “don’t want to work.” This is untrue. Generational poverty: This form of poverty is not just about lacking financial resources; it’s a cycle that traps families and communities, often for many generations, limiting their access to basic needs such as education and healthcare.

However, this situation is not hopeless. To break the cycle of generational poverty, we must first analyze its causes. These include lack of quality education, limited occupations, and often, a lack of hope. Education is key, as it motivates people to pursue better opportunities and break free from the cycle. As humanity, we have a moral obligation to address this drastic situation. By investing in quality education for all, we can begin to break the cycle.

We as a community must take action to resolve this issue and provide equality for all. The poverty cycle is a devious trap, and one that is self-reinforcing. This is why it is fundamental that we act to prevent it from persisting, and work towards breaking the cycle.
