justification

 

We can fight poverty by donation and providing for poor people  the standards of living which every human deserves, like health care and education and proper shelters  to have a good life; after giving them what they really need they can increase everything by themselves so this is the best way to put an end to poverty and suffering.

Why we must fight the poverty and talk about it?

It is fair that they live in poverty? If it not what can we do?

Do you think there are poor people in rich countries such as the UAE?

There are a lot of countries in Africa suffering from poverty and the UAE donated to these countries.

Did you think the United Arab Emirates is doing the right thing? And why?

Qatar is working on the 12 stadiums for the World Cup 2022. However there is a problem which is there are estimates that as many as 4,000 expatriate construction workers will die before the World Cup gets underway in 2022

Do you believe we can do anything about it?
If yes what is that a serious problem?


According to UNICEF, 22,000 children die each day due to poverty. And they “die quietly in some of the poorest villages on earth, far removed from the scrutiny and the conscience of the world."

What you think is the most important reason? And why did you choose it? 
Can you tell us any other reason cause the poverty?
What you think are the reasons for having poverty around the world?
