 Poverty

Poverty, the state of one who lacks a usual or socially acceptable amount of money or material possessions. Poverty is said to exist when people lack the means to satisfy their basic needs. In this context, the identification of poor people first requires a determination of what constitutes basic needs. These may be defined as narrowly as those necessary for survival or as broadly as those reflecting the prevailing standard of living in the community.

We can see in the foreground we can see a city can, housing built at the end of a dirty water point with materials find cardboard, plank, tarpaulin, (tile) a rather poor area of ​​people who do not live in good hygienic conditions, a fairly poor population. In the background we see[pic 1]

some homes of people in the middle social class. Then behind in the third plan we see quite the opposite of buildings which could be offices or even homes for people with more means.

In this photo we can see the 3 different sociable classes. but also the people that poverty is not far from us that it is present.

«The Poor Man whom everyone speaks of, the Poor Man whom everyone pities, one of the repulsive Poor from whom charitable souls keep their distance, he has still said nothing. Or, rather, he has spoken through the voice of Victor Hugo, Zola, Richepin. At least, they said so. And these shameful impostures fed their authors. Cruel irony, the Poor Man tormented with hunger feeds those who plead his case.»[pic 2]

It's a quote from Albert Camus  I don't have much to say being given for me it sums it all up but in a somewhat "poetic" way.

Because Poverty involves more than the lack of income and productive resources to ensure sustainable livelihoods. Its manifestations include hunger and malnutrition, limited access to education and other basic services, and social discrimination. But also because poverty surrounds us much more than we think we see it in every street corner without forcing seeing it, but it is indeed there people simply refuse to see it. And yet we are not in a country that is full.
