First of all, it is necessary to say that poverty is a multidimensional phenomenon that can be translated into objective factors, such as the lack of resources to meet basic survival needs, or subjective factors, such as the deprivation of social participation due to gender-related issues.
The most common approach defines poverty as lack of income. This concept is based on the studies of Benjamin Rowntree (1901).

Poverty is about not having enough money to meet basic needs including food, clothing and shelter. It's more than just not having enough money.
About 9.2% of the world, or 689 million people, live in extreme poverty on less than $1.90 a day, according to the World Bank.
Poverty is linked with negative conditions such as substandard housing, homelessness, inadequate nutrition and food, insecurity, inadequate child care, lack of access to health care, unsafe neighborhoods, and underresourced schools which adversely impact our nation's children.

Among the causes of so many people living in poverty in our country is the fact that 1% of the population concentrates 39% of the national wealth. Very few people concentrate a large part of the country's economic resources! Among other factors that cause poverty in Mexico, are:

Corruption.
Strong lack of employment.
Poorly paid jobs.
Unemployment of approximately 4%.

As pointed out by the National Council for the Evaluation of Social Development Policy (CONEVAL), there are different perspectives on the concept of poverty, and each one uses specific methods to measure and quantify the poor population. You may be surprised to learn that it is not only economic poverty that is considered poverty.

These perspectives of the concept encompass:

The monetary, i.e., people's income.
The participatory, i.e., how active the population is in the different productive and social functions of the city.
Social exclusion, i.e., the number of people excluded from individual and social benefits.
Basic needs, i.e., the lack of access to socially established basic needs.
People's inability to avoid hunger, malnutrition or homelessness.
The exercise of legally or socially defined rights.

Local consuming is important because it strengthens the economy of the people on a community, which generates better living standards for the population and job opportunities. It also helps prevent monopolies and promotes a more competitive marketing and better prices. Local trade promotes the development of small and medium-sized enterprises and, ideally, of local and regional supply chains. It is a viable action because everyone can do it, in addition to fighting poverty, it also helps reduce our ecological footprint.

Vale: This theme is a very relevant problem in the world, and with scientific proven data we can realize that it's not something small, and it is increasing day by day and not much has been done about it. I think that the plan we proposed to support poverty is something that in the long run could do a very significative difference, and people will contribute without realizing it, generating more awareness about it.

Diego: Poverty is a very delicate but sadly, very common and long standing issue, so its important to talk about and try to solve this problem. What we can do is to spread the situation to create awareness and if is possible help, either with donations or collections.

Fer: Poverty is a serious problem that we have nowadays, but we have been fighting with these problems for a lot of time. We are the only generation that can do something to change this problem and try to finish with it to have a better future, not only for us, also for all the world, it's time to make a change and do things better.
