Poverty
According to government stats, less than a third or the peruvian population no loves below the national poverty line. Nevertheless about 8 million people remain poor, and poverty is deepest among poeple of indigenous origin living in remote rurla areas. Rural poverty rate is over 50% with 20% of people in the sierra region considred extreemly poor. while both urban and rural poverty affect Peru, food insecurity is chronic in rural regions, where many smallholder farmers produce basic food crops at a subsistence level. For this reason and others, people born in Lima can expect to live almost 20 years longer than those born in the southern highlands.
The poorest of the poor in Peru are in the arid Andean highlands, where a large majority of the indigenous Quechua and Aymara communities live below the poverty line. Women are the worst affected. Most rural women are poor or extremely poor, even as they play a central role in the subsistence economy. Women work in agriculture, tend livestock and engage in income-generating activities, representing as much as 80% of a family's labor force. Through these productive activities – along with traditional household tasks and child care – women make it possible for their husbands to migrate in search of temporary work.
There are different areas that deal with more poverty than others. One thing that can be done to help the areas where people are having problems. We can create a charity foundation and try to get people started on what they need. Then we help them and teach them how to utilize the things they have with them. One thing I think that needs to be helped with the women being in poverty is you have to deal with the gender equality thing here too. when you fix that women won't probably live as much in poverty either.

Education
One problem with Education in Peru is rural girls seem to face barriers when it comes to education. People have to walk an hour to get to school. The Community is way up in the mountains where car's can't even go. Many girls drop out due to the numerous barriers standing in the way of education for girls in many of Peru's impoverished rural regions. A law was passed in Peru in 2001 to foment education for girls in rural areas, but has yielded few results. Only 43% of young rural women between the ages of 20 and 24 had finished secondary school.
It is harder for some communities to send a girl or young woman to study and they prefer to give the opportunity to a boy or young man. Geographic conditions are another factor. A lot of students had dropped out of school because classes were only given in the afternoon and it was dangerous for the students to return home after dark. Every year, an average of four girls would drop out of her class to start a family.
The problem seems to be girls are afraid to go to school because of what may happen to them after wards. Some ways to help fix this may be have someone go with them. There is this thing called a walking school bus. So what can happen is they start having adults and other children come together and everyone walks together to get to their destinations safely.
