Discussing The Ways Of Reducing Global Poverty

Defined as the state of surviving in minimum wage or below the level of minimum wage, poverty is also a condition where people lack basic necessity essential for surviving everyday life which includes food, water, shelter, health and education. With 6 billion people living in today’s world, one billion receive 80 percent of global income but in contrast to that more than one billion barely survive on less than a dollar a day.

Thousands of organizations are in the field of poverty reduction looking to make difference and some positive results have been achieved but still millions are in same state. With India, China, parts of South Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa majorly affected by poverty, extraordinary efforts have to be put in order to reduce such crisis. Annually global leaders of the world organize programs in order to establish framework and strategies to accelerate the process of poverty reduction. Ideas and programs mostly consist of ways to empower people through practical skills along with financial aid. If developing countries are to be looked in right way, almost half of world’s poverty could be reduced but corruption followed by bad government system becomes the biggest obstacle.

Urge in development of developing countries should be more in focus if poverty is to be reduced to certain extent. The process to reduce global poverty among immense population should start with educating as much people as possible with technical and practical knowledge. Not lot of organizations are involved in providing technical knowledge to people but some of them are and web-based online resource centre like Practical Answers are also a great way to access technical resources. not many people are familiar with the use of online resources for technical knowledge but Practical Answers resources has managed to make difference throughout the globe in developing countries and it can be equally useful in global poverty reduction as well.


Poverty surrounds billions and efforts have to be made by every citizen in order to make difference. Contribution doesn't have to be bigger as even sharing information could make a big difference. Reducing enormous poverty has to be a global issue rather than particular problem.

Emergency Plans For Flood And Earthquakes

Disasters are reoccurring event which brings upon deadly consequences depending on their ferocity and capability. Among them earthquake and flood are frequently occurring ones which brings huge consequences along with them. Effective actions for floods and earthquakes could be described as the procedures and plans which can be followed in case of such emergency occurrence.

Awareness and preparedness is the only way of establishing safety among people. Ideas and knowledge on preparing emergency plans can be found from various sources but it is the availability of those resources to people who are in most vulnerable state. People living in remote regions and in poverty are the ones who are in real state of vulnerability as they do not have ideas on disaster and are unaware of such awareness measures. Awareness on emergency plans starts with government of every developing countries being aware about the consequences of disaster and making information available to marginalized population.

Considering the amount of disasters that developing countries like Nepal, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and many others goes through, government must take initiative to spread knowledge on emergency plans. There are specific plans that should be followed in case of both earthquake and flood respectively. Vulnerabilities can only be reduced through knowledge and knowledge reaches up to people through help from NGOs and government. Some of the organizations have been using resources provided by Practical Answers which consists of all disaster related resources.

Practical Answers provides its online resources which consist of various materials to help improve people’s lives and economic standard. Organizations have been using resource provided by Practical Answers because of its People Centered Resource which consists of materials focusing on people for everything related to disaster from emergency plans to preparedness and reconstruction work. helping people in case of disaster is much easier than it seems as organizing even a smallest community-based program allows people to share their knowledge with others and form a safe environment in case of disaster occurrence.

Disasters are unstoppable and nobody can do anything about it but people can be safe and adopt safety measures to protect themselves in case of such situations.
