Out of the many social issues that our nation is currently facing, one of the most critical and outstanding is poverty. For over many years, many presidential candidates used this as their platform, and many years after, poverty is still present. There has been many programs and organizations that aim to alleviate poverty. Although, this may help in one way or another, it is still not enough.
I believe that through good governance, this can be wiped out. It is a matter of prioritizing the least of our brethren and educating them on how to be better stewards of themselves and how to live to the full.
It is not enough that we give them homes and feed them because this will only make them rely on the people who's helping them. We must help them to settle–- find their own two feet then help them land a job, so that they might be responsible and effective on their own. And by this, it can be the start of a new tomorrow four our less fortunate brothers and sisters.
