Poverty though it appears as the issue of the individuals or the family, in reality it is the issue of the society or the nation. In the developing or underdeveloped countries, majority of the people comes under the poverty and struggles for the basic needs. It is the fact that poverty and development are the cause and consequence of each other and results for poor quality of life with vulnerable circumstances which leads for disasters.
In the race of development with the technology, the resulted development is mostly confined to few hands or pockets and thus widens the GAP between the rich and poor. This type of development results for more disadvantages rather than isolated brightening spots.
Knowing the situation, we all need to look for the positive aspect of the development. This is possible when the development is planned with optimization of local resources with the participation of the stakeholders on need based approaches. It is possible and everyone should work for the development of all with barrier free environment as poverty acts as a barrier for the development.
I am working with the rural poor with the need based empowering strategies.
Looking forward for better networking...
with thanks
