In my understanding poverty is a State in which one can't take care of him or her self, in such away they can be affected with diseases poverty can cause lack of adequate financial resources which consists of house hold resources. In this case if the are married the parent won't be able to take care of their children or even to send them to school.

Here are they give cause of poverty I know; * Lack of education: In this case they family don't have money to send their children to school because they don't have money * Lack of Access to basic healthcare: This type of CAUSES of poverty,they family member will be sick and they won't have money to treat themselves or even to go to the hospital. * Corruption: Corruption in poverty, it cause by lack of money. In this case people that don't have money will be corrupted by bad people, they will be lead to do bad things that can lead them to a very big trouble. * UNEMPLOYMENT: Unemployment to people who are in poverty; in a case that they they didn't have much money to further themselves to get their certificate to start a business. Without them getting their certificate or learning an hand work, The won't have money to take care of their family. That can cause unemployment.
