Understanding the cycle of poverty is crucial to addressing its impact on individuals and communities. The cycle often begins with limited access to quality education, which can lead to insufficient job opportunities and inadequate income. This, in turn, perpetuates the lack of resources for proper healthcare, nutrition, and housing, further entrenching individuals and families in poverty. Education support programs play a pivotal role in breaking this cycle by providing resources and opportunities for individuals to gain knowledge and skills, empowering them to improve their socioeconomic circumstances.
