As, I reviewed the website http://www.childhoodpoverty.org/ for the week 3 blog, I found so much interesting things about poverty in India. I decided to search a little more on the issue in India.
I found a program called the Grameen Foundation
This program basically helps the world's poorest, which majority is women, improve their lives and leave poverty behind by providing small loans, essential information and viable business opportunities. Their goal is to break the chain of poverty and help the poorest lead lives of respect, dignity, and opportunity.
They provide loans to help them expand or develop small busineeses and inspire them to make changes in their lives for the better. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poverty_in_India#Efforts_to_alleviate_poverty
As I read this it made me think that children should be where they should start to break the cycle of poverty. Children should be inspired and motivated to come to school and learn. They should be given the opportunity to learn skills and build on them to help them support themselves and their families.
AlsoI believe the workers in the programs mentioned in India should be motivated more to help others. People tend to help more when they feel they have been rewarded for their efforts.
Children should also be provided with more program focusing on nutrition and health. A program should be developed that visits the children quarterly to provide health care such as vitamins, physicals, and continue to provide with food, school, and other opportunities to break the cycle of poverty. To break the cycle you have to start some where.
