In my opinion, povery is the lack of basic necessitites suchas water, clothes, access to education, shelter, food, and access to healthcare. By adding education and health care in the list above, does not mean thatlack of it is a sign of poverty. Instead, it is avalability and affordablity ofeducation and health care that determines if there are signs of poverty or not.All the basic necessities mentioned such as water, clothes, food etc, allrequire money to buy, but it still not mean that poverty is based only onmaterial things.
