Introduction Education is a vital tool in any person’s life especially at early growth stages in human beings. It is power granted to an individual that will help him/her cope with a diverse number of issues, which will never fade or count as lacking usefulness. All humans should have access to basic quality education regardless of their physical being, class, tribe or social status. Unfortunately, most people worldwide lack access to basic education due to discrimination by illegitimate factors. Poverty is a crucial issue worldwide and the most prevalent factor that denies access to education to many people worldwide. In this case, many societies struck by poverty lack access to basic education. Over 125 million children lack access to basic education worldwide, whereas three quarters of these children account to Africa. This occurs in poverty-stricken areas, where intermediaries reside.

The UNDP asserts that the major cause of lack to basic education to many communities worldwide is poverty. It is most prevalent in southern Asia and Sub Saharan Africa. Children in poverty-stricken areas are most affected as they become vulnerable to changes in their growth. They may be victims of political, ethnic, social and economic issues in the community. These children get exposure to poverty, child labor, sexual harassment, refugees and immigration. They are victims of conflict zones through boundary, ethnic or religious wars, orphaned by HIV/AIDS or disabilities. The older children fend for their young ones and those who were fortunate to access lower education drop out of school for survival. Children who emigrate from their nationality countries suffer as refugees and illegal migrants. They engage in activities of terrorism and children soldiers around the refugee camps, thus ignoring the necessity of educat
