submitted on July 19 2014 by a continuous working group, and then declared on September 25

17 main goals. The topic I raised is one topic of poverty that is interesting in the spotlight of the
world, especially the developing country and poor country in the world.
Poverty is the basic problem in the world. Every problem in the world is often caused by
the root of poverty, for example; malnutrition due to the inability of parents to provide nutritious
food for their children, low education resulting in disability school leadership because there is no
cost to the school, or children who prefer to help parents overcome their economic problems,
how many deaths from natural disasters so that the community down cannot reach them, and
many more that occur due to the crisis posed by the problem of poverty.
The cycle of problems that exist in the community usually starts from who live below the
poverty line then have offspring, because of their quality they cannot buy nutrient-rich foods
when the child is in the womb, the child is in state of malnutrition, so it can death at the age of
less than 5 years, and also during the period of growth is not as usual, such as the body is shorter
than average, the brain is less intelligent, and weak immune. In addition, due to lack of financial
usually the family has many problems such as lack of health, lack of living in a clean
environment, lack of expertise, and most often happens is education, because their children have
to work to help parents so the children drop out easily. When the children grown up, they must
work in the informal sector, and their income is small and cannot survive for their lives. Their
parents pass down poverty to children from each generation. It is this poverty chain that we
must breaks up the nation’s successors through the various expertise and cross – sectors we are
from various faculties and courses to build this nation forward.
