Poverty in Kenya

Despite some positive developments, poverty in Kenya has continued to be a huge problem. One quarter and half of the population earn less than $1 US each day. Half of all rural Kenyans are living below the poverty line. That represents approximately 9 million people. The situation is not quite as bad in the urban centers, where such poverty only effects a third of the population.

There are several factors contributing to the ongoing problem of poverty in Kenya, though the issue of Kenya's economic state is far more complex.

So what's your hunger and poverty solutions in Kenya? This will help to eradicate the vice in our societies.
