Poverty In Central America

The fact that Central America is part of the developing world causes it to drown in poverty. In the seven countries of Central America, rural people are twice as likely to be as poor as their urban neighbors. The situation is especially grim in Honduras and Nicaragua, where 45 percent of children live in extreme poverty, deprived of the resources required to meet even minimum nutritional needs. These people lack education and health care, causing them to have low life spans. The U.S. government provided financial help and food through multiple programs geared to the most vulnerable population in Central America. Countries such as Venezuela aren’t receiving any aid from the U.S. because of its abundance of natural resources.
Improving the supply of accessible, affordable health care, to reduce disease and improving the training and equipment of farmers to increase the production of crops are some potential solution to fighting poverty in the Central American Countries. These solutions, without doubt, can help put a fight against the poverty in Central America, starting with attacking the high risk of getting diseases and being able to fight against them with health care. Providing proper training and equipment will increase crop production, reducing the high percentage of starvation. A total of 43.2 million people live in Central America, and over half of them are poor. The lowest levels of social development are seen in El Salvador, Honduras, and Nicaragua, where the proportion of the population living in poverty is well over 60%. With our help by putting these possible solutions into effect, we can help fight against the poverty in Central
