What are the benefits of poverty for the individual and the community? .Poverty is known as the state of being extremely poor, which means that there’s lack of the necessary to meet basic needs such as food, clothing and shelter. It has been associated with poor health, low levels of education and inability to work, however it doesn’t really have many benefits but here are some few benefits: - People get free education in areas where they can’t afford to pay the fees. There’s also a feeding scheme program offered for students to have access to food. - By the government building the schools and sports facilities, people get job opportunities and are able to make a living for themselves and their families. - They get to work in places where they gain experience and knowledge by doing the work. For example, working at a farm, they gain experience and they’ll be able to have their own using the knowledge they gained. - The government cares for people so they built mobile clinics for people in the community to have a nearby medical help for free. It’s not really a benefit but some make a living by collecting empty bottles and cans to weigh them in order to receive money and but themselves food to avoid sleeping with an empty stomach. Well it’s kind of a win-win situation because they’re keeping the country clean by making a living for themselves.
