The importance of eradicating poverty for a better quality of life The fight against poverty is an important objective set by international organizations to address the challenges of the new millennium. This problem deserves global attention due to a number of exceptional considerations, related to people, their life circumstances and their suffering, regardless of their roots, religion and ethnicity. Extreme poverty destroys people's lives and spirits. People living in poverty regularly suffer from lack of food, shelter, essential services and unhygienic environments. The elimination of poverty is important for the country in order to help citizens have a better quality of life. The issues to worry about are environmental problems, the education level of citizens, the economy and healthcare. As the world's population continues to grow year after year, the demands on the world's resources have also increased. The growing population's demand for natural resources causes increased pressure on the environment. The relationships between human activity and the natural environment are complex because people consume water, food, energy, and other natural resources to live while human activity depletes natural resources and causes environmental stress. On the other hand, environmental problems can prevent people from achieving the required standard of living. Therefore, all people should care about environmental problems in order to have a better quality of life. Many people living in poverty work on the land such as farming, but do not have access to training on how to protect the environment, this increases pressure on the land and results in a decline in crop yields.

Breastfeeding can not only reduce the mother's cancer risk, but also protect the baby from a long list of diseases. Additionally, UNICEF seeks to help stem the worst effects of malnutrition by funding and helping countries provide micronutrients such as iron and vitamin A, essential for a healthy immune system, through fortified foods. UNICEF, governments, salt producers and private sector organizations are also working to eliminate iodine deficiency, the leading primary cause of mental retardation and preventable brain damage, through the Universal Salt Iodization (USI) education campaign ). UNICEF's efforts can not only improve the quality of life, but also demonstrate the importance of poverty eradication on health issues.
