The Truth on Poverty

The Numbers: American vs. Kenya

Poverty: Having little / no means of support, a means to live"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with

inherent and inalienable rights; that among these, are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness;

Consider Poverty as a Disease, an abnormality that we must escape from

We don’t arrive at poverty suddenly unless you are born into it!

We are in it together!
