One of poverty's main effects is starvation which of course leads to death. Every day, 35,000 children under the age of five, die of starvation. Each day millions of people go without food because they don't have enough money. Every day people live in fear of death without proper clothes food and/or clean water. All this can be changed though, if people will just donate money to good causes instead of wasting it on itms that they will probably waste. If people donate old clothes and food to shelters for the poor and charity. The poor will be grateful for even an extra few dollars since most of them have probably never seen the inside of a proper home, let alone them owning a T.V. or computer. So like I said all people have to do is take some time or donate a little money or clothes to help the poor.
