Poverty cannot be captured in terms of money and income alone. If poverty is seen as a lack of opportunity to acquire lasting control of resources in order to strengthen one’s capacity to acquire the basic necessities of life-water, energy, food, a safe place to eat, rest, sleep, wash, have sex and go to school, basic health services and medicine in case of illness, […]-all that requires more than money, more than an income. It requires assets or entitlements, the value of which cannot be easily estimated in financial terms (Maanen 2004:34)
