Education & Poverty

Poverty is a factor in life that never ceases to exist. People send aid to regions that need help, but this regions keep living in a lack of basic needs. Maybe, aid is not what these people living in this condition need. There have been many cases in the past where people from more developed countries send aid to underdeveloped countries, such as the ones in Africa, but instead of helping and improving the lives of people in need, they aggravate the situation. Aid might cause people to become too dependent on developed countries' aid and it might negatively affect the employers who actually work to sustain their family. Although aid in the form of handing out free clothes, food, and other essential things might not always work, the production of educational center and health centers might bring benefactors.

Most developed countries are known for a high rate of education. Education enables a person to gain the skills and techniques you need to know in order to work and perform certain tasks. People living in poverty often can't find a job because they are not fit for it. The lack of education also causes a lack of vocabulary which disables them to communicate and interact effectively. This reduces their opportunity to get employed. 

Education also strengthens your values and morals because you are naturally introduced to an environment where you share, help, and interact with the other classmates. This values and morals you learn at the school are essential for the future. Knowing how to share and interact with others are values that you use during working; without it you are less likely to be picked as a worker. People who hire workers look for people who have good education, skills, attitude, and values, which makes schools so needy in areas living in poverty. 

Education is one of the key terms for poverty. Since countries living in poverty do not have vast amount of money to start a school, it would be helpful to have funding programs to produce a building and the things needed to start a school. This program would help these countries in need a lot. Students would learn to make their own reasoning and think beyond of what they used to know. Education would enable them to have a successful life. 

There may be other factors that also influence the thought of living a successful life, but I think that education is a first.
