Borgen Project

World wide poverty has become a big issue. People are finding it very hard to accommodate living, not only for themselves, but for their family as well.
Looking into today's age you see all the good things. People driving the fancy cars, living in giant houses, and attending prestigious schools. We see these accomplishments and we see these people achieving their goals and dreams and think to ourselves, I can be just like them. But you can't always. Either you're denied from where you live because of the environment or you're not able to afford a way out. People like this are more occurring than not. One thing we can all agree on is no one should live in poverty. So how do we stop it? To answer how we stop poverty, one must understand what
But it's when it actually comes time to do the fixing is when it starts to become hard. America, being the big brother that it is, tries to support smaller nations in times of need. Things we've done to combat the increase in poverty over the years has been something called the Borgen Project. What the Borgen project is, is notifying and giving people steps to help them fight off poverty. The Borgen have a 10 rule policy on how they feel fighting off poverty should be handled. “The first step in conquering any problem is acknowledging that there is one.” (http://tinyurl.com/gne2ta9). This statement is very true in all things. Other things that have been done has been organizations and fundraisers that send money or food or clothes to these countries. Some organizations that help out with this are local food pantries, CHA(Childrens hunger Aliance), Oxfam America, The hunger Project, etc. All these have spent years and years trying do something about this terrible problem in the world. Samaritans Purse is well known for creating the international “Operation Christmas Child”. What that is, is sending kids in poor countries christmas gifts that they couldn't receive normally. It is a religious organization which branches out into tons of different areas. Food pantries gather food from stores and give them out to families in need.
Millions of people die from not being properly taken care of. All they need is well kept clothes, simple living accommodations, the things most people have on a daily basis. The people as a whole need to stop viewing life as one big joyride and everyone living like kings in their fancy palaces driving their fancy cars enjoying the good life. It's not like that for most people so we, as humans, as one, need to come together and look out for one
