UNDERSTANDING POVERTY

AMERICANS GREATLY UNDERESTIMATE THE NUMBER OF POOR IN THEIR COUNTRY.

7% OF WORKERS LIVE BELOW THE POVERTY LINE, HAVING A FULL TIME JOB DOES NOT GUARANTEE YOU WILL LIVE ABOVE THE POVERTY LINE.

THE MEDIAN US INCOME RESTS AT $51,000 A YEAR, (EBT) THAT’S ONLY 46% ABOVE THE POVERTY LINE.

MANY AMERICANS BELIEVE LIVING IN POVERTY IS A CHOICE. YET MOST POOR ARE IN SITUATIONS BY CIRCUMSTANCE RATHER THAN CHOICE. UNEDUCATED OR UNDER-EDUCATED SUFFERED INJURY LOSS OF WORK DUE TO ECONOMY SINGLE DEVORSED OR WIDOWED MOTHERS

each other just to survive. Food from one common pot, served with unwashed hands. 20,000 walked 700 miles to freedom only to live in camps
