154 words

Global poverty is a big problem. Many people around the world live on less than $2 a day. This means they do not have enough money for food, water, and housing. Recently, countries have been trying to help. For example, in 2021, the United Nations made a plan to help poor countries. This plan aims to reduce poverty by providing education and jobs. Education is very important because it helps people learn new skills. Many families want better lives for their children. They believe that with education, their children can find good jobs. In 2022, the world saw some good news. Many poor countries started to improve their economies. However, global challenges like climate change make it harder. Climate change can destroy farms and homes, causing more people to be poor. To solve these problems, countries must work together. This means sharing resources and ideas. Only together can we hope to end global poverty.
