@Mariya-Rajpar poverty has far-reaching consequences for families, affecting their mental health, relationships, access to resources, and future prospects. Recognizing the interconnectedness of poverty and family struggles is crucial for developing effective interventions and support systems to help families overcome these challenges.

@Ridafatima95 Absolutely agree. Students living in poverty should never be defined by their circumstances. I believe that when we create an environment that is understanding, inclusive and equitable, we allow all students to thrive. One way I support my students is by being mindful of the resources they may or may not have access to. I always try to provide alternatives for assignments, such as offering printed materials or allowing creative project formats using items they already have at home.
