Recently, Zambia, located in Africa, has had a huge economic growth rate, but despite that there is still a very high poverty rate. Mr. Mukata, the Deputy Minister of Finance, said though the economy had been performing well statistically, the growth rate had not been sufficient to notably reduce poverty. The deputy minister said the Government was aiming at achieving a higher growth rate of at least 8% per annum over the next five years. Many places like Zambia have been facing similar troubles, beginning to grow, but the goal of getting out of poverty still far ahead.
There are many ways people can help poverty, whether it's helping your own community or somewhere far away. All around the world natural disasters happen all the time, usually putting people into poverty. One way to help with that would be food security. Donate canned foods, water, and clothing to help others, or if you're more extreme, go there and give an actual hand.
