The term "impoverished" refers to a state of extreme poverty where individuals or communities lack sufficient financial resources to meet basic needs such as food, shelter, and healthcare. This condition can result from various factors, including economic downturns, lack of education, and limited access to job opportunities. Impoverished populations often face significant challenges, including inadequate living conditions and limited access to essential services. Governments and organizations may implement programs aimed at alleviating poverty, such as providing financial assistance, education, and job training to help improve the quality of life for those affected.
