Welfare and Poverty

Welfare refers to government programs that provide financial support and services to individuals and families in need, aiming to improve their quality of life. It often includes assistance with food, housing, healthcare, and education. Poverty is the state in which people lack sufficient income or resources to meet basic needs for living, such as food, shelter, and healthcare. It can lead to limited access to opportunities and services, impacting overall well-being. Addressing poverty through welfare programs is crucial for fostering social equity and helping individuals achieve self-sufficiency and better living conditions.
