OTHER TYPES OF POVERTY

There are many types of poverty and water is one of them.  Water poverty happens when someone does not have enough water to live a normally functioning life.  Many people in our world (1.1 billion) do not have access to safe clean water.  Imagine a classroom of 24 students representing the world.  In this class only 4 out of the 24 students would not have an adequate supply of water.  Since the global water supply is so low many people die each year due to lack of water and dehydration.  Also, 5 million people die each year because of water shortage and dirty water.  Many people die every day because of water poverty too.  3,900 children die every day and that does not even include adults or deaths that were not recorded.  Water poverty is just one of the several types of poverty but, it was is also one of the worst.
