Abstract

Poverty affects every culture and society dimensions. Poverty involves limiting access to services on education, health, decision making and lack of community facilities such as water, sanitation, roads, transport and communications. The key to sustainable development to poverty eradication is to discover hidden resources that already exist in every poor community. Poverty is a social problem and its solution can be achieved only through a social policy to eliminate the main drivers of poverty: ignorance, illness, apathy, dishonesty and dependency. The most vulnerable groups of population on poverty they are: children, youth and families with many children, families where several members are unemployed, families engaged in agriculture, pensioners.
