What are the benefits of poverty for the individual and the community:
Poverty is a hardship faced by an individual or a community where they are unable to satisfy your daily needs. 
The benefits of poverty for an individual is that you become more resourceful and you seek more creative ways to surviving. You can survive on almost nothing, with limited resources because you measure your resources accordingly and it saves because you are alone. You gain inner strength and hope more because even when you do not have much to survive on you still believe that one day things will be in good condition.

The benefits of poverty for a community is that they end up developing a spirit of taking care of each other and uplifting one another. Another point is that the community develops a strategic plan on how to use their community resources.
Poverty also makes you be able to value the little you have.
