| Summary: | Poverty has wide-ranging and often devastating effects. Many of its effects, such as poor nutrition and physical healthproblems, result directly from having too little income or too few resources. As a result of poornutrition and healthproblems, infant mortality rates among the poor are higher than average, and life expectancies are lower than average. Other effects of poverty may include infectious disease, mentalillness, and drug dependence. Some effects of poverty are not as easily understood. Religion on the other hand enables people of equal faith and beliefs to assemble and practice the tenets of such religion.The central theme of most religion lies in their generosity towards members and the likes. It was on this basis that the study presumed that if such religious beliefs and tenacity is well enshrined in the community it would go a long ways in solving such economic problem like poverty. |
