A rural area of sub-Saharan Africa, South Asia or the slums of Maputo is the place that many of The Poor call home. The geography of poverty was formed not by infertility of soils, lack of minerals or inferior ingenuity of people, but by a chain of historic events that take us back some 500 years. On top of this, structural adjustment programs initiated over the last 60 years, mean less spending on education, health care and other social services by governments leading to The Poor being marginalized even more ? he lacks food, school for his children, work, a good house.    Additionally global warming brought about by wasteful use, ignorance and greenhouse gasses contribute to this devastating reality with alarming frequency as floods, earthquakes and hurricanes wreak even more havoc for The Poor.
