While poverty awareness usually focuses on food and housing, a person  needs other things too. We understand that While poverty awareness usually focuses on food and housing, a person needs other things to live. Individuals and families struggle to think about anything else when they are focused meeting their basic needs like a place to stay; However, our goal is to eliminate this stressor so that people can concentrate on lifting themselves out of poverty, focus on completing their education, advancing in their careers, nurturing families, or other priorities, allowing them to thrive.
