" Poverty is to lose your parents, food and water, education and health services" 
Child, Age 16, Port Said Governate, Egypt.

Qualitative research can serve as an important tool in capturing children's own experiences in poverty, and the perceptions of children and their families on poverty in the local context. This research can be used either to provide supporting evidence and detail to quantitative research, or can contribute to a mixed methods analysis. Additionally, qualitative results in the form of quotes and case studies can often be strong sources of advocacy.
