2. - The state of being extremely poor.
- Not having enough money to meet basic needs
including food, clothing and shelter.
- Not being able to pay for medications for an
illness.
- Not having able to send children to schools as
school fees are not affordable.

3. - Not having food and clean water
- Children must often work to provide an income
for their family
- Crippling accidents occur as a result of unsafe
work environments
- Poor housing – a long lasting cause of diseases
- Water and food related diseases that occur
simply because the poor cannot afford “safe”
foods

5.  Cancelling impossible-to-pay world debts
Africa is in a state of poverty. By cancelling it’s national
debts to other countries, that makes it so close to getting
Africa out of the financially instable state it is in.
 Taxing the rich more and the poor less
It makes sense that the poor and rich should not be taxed
at a 1:1 ratio as for every dollar a rich man makes, a poor
man makes so much less.
Therefore, it is a logical solution to tax the two at different
rates.
