As a final result, it is that the poor quality of life is what gives most concern to people since, due to this situation they are restricted from all the benefits that are provided such as: education, services, good nutrition, etc.
- POVERTY AS A PROBLEM BEFORE SOCIETY

Of the 100% of the people who answered the survey, 60.9% said that poverty was considered as a factor that affects society, since it can unleash more insecurity and disagreements may also exist due to lack of justice; and the other 39.1% said that poverty was not something that affected society
- THE BEST ACTION TO COMBAT POVERTY
We made this question with the purpose of knowing the perspective of the people towards poverty and how they think citizens or maybe the government should act about it.
- THE MOST WORRYING ASPECT OF POVERTY
For people there are many factors that concern them when there is poverty, in this question the 5 most common aspects were raised: education, nutrition, job opportunities, social problems and insecurity.
The most worrisome problem was that of education with a percentage of 39.1% since without education, people with limited resources will not be able to overcome so that they can have a better quality of life.

- RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN POVERTY AND BIRTH CONTROL
This graph shows that people think that poverty is highly related to birth control, we can see that a little bit more of the half believes that poverty may be a consequence of a lack of information towards birth control.
- THE MOST KNOWN POVERTY-FIGHTING WORLDWIDE ORGANIZATION
As part of our original question, we decided to show which of the most important worldwide organizations that take action against poverty was the most known to public, as a result we can take action by showing the less known ones what they can do to improve their social relations with the public, which, in the end is the one that make them continue working; as we can see, the most known organization is part of the United Nation’s programs to help the poor, which is the United Nations Development Program (UNDP), the second was the United Nations Children Fund (UNCF), being the third one the Oxfam, and the fourth the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs. This makes sense because the UN is one of the most known organizations that fight against worldwide poverty.
- THE ROLE OF THE ORGANIZATIONS
We wanted to know how much does people know about the role or the activities that organizations like UNICEF or “People against poverty” do, therefore to provide more information about it. However, we can see in the answers shown that people isnt that familiarized with what organizations usually do.
- RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN WAR AND POVERTY
We made this question with the purpose of making people think if poverty is a consequence of war or viceversa.
- REASONS WHY AFRICA IS POOR
Worlwide people know that one of the most poor continents is Africa due to their governments and lack of resources, but we wanted to know if people is aware of this or they think that there are other reasons.
- IMPROVEMENT OF THE ECONOMY OF AFRICA
Understanding what citizens think about what could be a solution for erradicating poverty gives the organization a perspective of what people is expecting that they do, but also, that organizations inform the populatino the correct and most efficient way to erradicate poverty.
- WAR VS PEACE
This question was made in order to ensure what people thought about war relationship with poverty; as we can see, most of them think that during peace is when a society is able to improve the most, which can be assured because during last war times, like during WW2, global economy took a step down, as most of the workforce went towards the making of armament to fight, whereas during peace times, they can focus on other different activities, like non-weaponry related science and development of agriculture, etc. Therefore it is better for a nation’s economy to be in peace in order for it to improve faster.
- POVERTY AND YOU
As one of the last questions, we wanted to understand how people saw poverty and how they were affected by it. As we can see, they conceal poverty the most to the growth of society as a whole, as it is a way to mark how much a society has improved, if it has too much poverty, we can be sure that it is not very advanced, as they care less for the wellbeing of this people; otherwise poverty wouldn’t exist. In the other hand, they relate it to insecurity and unfairness, as poverty is also a symbol of how unfair a society is, as there should not be a little group of wealthy people and a large group of poor ones. As a conclusion we can see that people think that poverty is directly related to their reality, and think that it must be changed for better.
- CHANGES TO ELIMINATE POVERTY
