The Poverty Cycle

The cycle of Poverty has been described as a phenomenon where poor families become trapped in poverty for generations.

Because they have no or limited access to critical recourses, such as

·         Education and

·         Financial services

Subsequent generations are also impoverished.

There are multiple cycles of Poverty-based on among other things,

·         Economic,

·         Social,

·         Spiritual and

·         Geographic factors

Many cycles overlap or perpetuate new cycles and therefore any attempt to depict the cycle will be far more simplistic than realistic.

This cycle shows –very simply- how a cycle of poverty related to hunger keeps a person or household poor in one of the world’s developing countries.
