The life of the researcher through a village setting has encountered many experiences which have created passion for human life and the environment to initiate the study into poverty scourge in the brothers and sisters of the time.
The study was carried out to investigate the possible causes of poverty in Kihorezo Parish. The methods used include qualitative and quantitative approaches to collect and analyze data. The research study was carried out in five villages of Kihorezo Parish.
The people generally face many challenges that include negative attitude, low incomes, high illiteracy rates, disease, low life expectancy, hunger, high women fertility rates, discrimination against women, children and the disabled which all that lead to disharmony in society and ultimately result into low productivity in primary sector. Low levels of information and technology, savings and investment breeds to low productivity and this compromises the position of the country in the international trade.
A lot needs to be done on a collective responsibility basis where all key players are necessary to alleviate the conditions that are unfavorable to mankind.
