About Me

Hello, I am a poverty activist (my pen name). I spent more than half of my life living in Africa, and moved to the United States about 4 years ago, to foster my college education. I am a student who got the opportunity to re-start an organization that is focused on improving the life of children around the world and reducing the number (18,000) of kids that die everyday from preventable diseases to ZERO. As an African that has lived in a more developed part of the world, I have come to understand and realize the effect that poverty has on a child and its retrogression of the child's development and growth. Though, a lot of people presume that poverty only exists in specific parts of the world (third world and developing countries), people all over the world live in poverty (lack of basic amenities). Originally, I started this blog because of its relations with a class (there were no specifications on topics), but it seems as though it is more than just the class that interests me in wanting to write in it everyday. Poverty goes beyond what the eyes see. Poverty is an everyday struggle for those who live in it. It holds an extreme importance for you and I to understand from each other's perspective, the effects of poverty on not just kids, but the world as a whole. To much comfort, people have come together to form organizations and build homes for those that are unable to do so, in an  attempt to eradicate poverty. But poverty did not start in one day, so there is absolutely no assurance that it will end in one day. In the hope of eliminating poverty, it is wise to first understand poverty and its effect.
