By Enid Hinton


Poverty is a global problem found in all countries, even the most developed countries. It is present in both rural and urban areas. In rural areas, it is mostly experienced when one cannot access most of the basic necessities like education and health facilities. On the other hand, in urban areas it is mostly experienced when one lacks unsafe housing, overcrowding, pollution and so forth. Education is not a way of escaping poverty but a way of fighting it. Many of us see education as a way of making us rich and successful in future, but not everyone falls on this path. There are other alternative education effects on poverty.

So many opportunities are associated with going to schools. They are mainly found in the scholarships and sponsorships.
