Poor people have to go through various human sufferings. Nobody would like to live in poverty. So,

due to the following reasons, we can say that poverty is a curse upon humanity :

  1. Poverty leads to hunger and lack of shelter. Poor people live in unhygienic conditions and invite host of diseases. They lack medical facilities and die of diseases in want of timely and proper treatment.

  2. Poor people are in a situation in which they are ill-treated at almost all places. Each time they are left with scars on their spirit of self-respect.

  3. Poor parents are not able to send their children to school. This leaves them unaware of the opportunities in life.
