__**Problem**__: Poverty is a problem that affects regions all over the world. It leads to death many times, because of people not having money to basic human needs such as nutrition, clean water, health care, clothing and shelter. It also increases crime, and reduces the quality of life in many places as people have to resort to it to survive. __**Reason**__: We chose poverty because it is a big issue that affects many people around the world and feel it is something that needs to be addressed to improve the quality of life, and reduce crime around the world. __**Solution Proposal**__: Some solutions to poverty are donating money, food, and clothing to these people, and helping them (giving them education, information) to get a job, to get back up on their feet so they can become productive members of society. __**Benefits**__: The benefits of our proposal are giving people a chance to get out of poverty and to have a chance to get a job, make money, and to be able to support themselves and their families, and become productive members of society. Our proposal will also lower crime and increase safety in many places and improve the overall quality of life.
