A poor country is basically a country that can hardly sustain the basic needs of its citizens. Poverty is a big problem for most countries, economies, and families across the world. Poverty is the cause of suffering and to some extent, the cause of sin and crime. Poor countries experience the most challenges in catering to its people. Poor countries lack finances to provide good infrastructure, health, education and other amenities to their people. Rich countries on the other end do not have to deal with the kind of problems that are common to the poor countries. Instead, the richer countries deal with another level of issues such as technological advancement. Poverty causes sin and crime because the lack of money causes discomfort and lack of enjoyment for life. As people try to escape suffering caused by poverty, they commit crime by means of stealing, robbery, drug trafficking, and so on. Most poor countries are found in the African and the Asian continents for most countries herein have not managed to rise above the “poverty line” or to rise to the capacity to beat problems that are caused by the absence of money. In a nutshell, poverty remains as one of the biggest challenges to many people, nations and economies.
