Web Of Poverty

Poverty extends far beyond lack of financial resources. When people cannot afford essential needs like heating and nutritious food, it can be daunting to seek help, particularly when compounded by feelings of low self-esteem and lack of social support. This can lead to a sense of isolation and disconnection from the community, leaving individuals questioning their sense of belonging.

It can be helpful to imagine poverty as a web of interconnected challenges that significantly impact an individual’s or a community’s ability to thrive. This includes, poverty of identity, poverty of resources and poverty of relationships.
