Several programs planned by the government and NGOs to eliminate the poverty could not succeed in their high honored goals. Current study has strived to discover the factors related with poverty in Tharparkar district of Sindh, Pakistan. The survey data in the study showed that three-fourth of the population this district lives below poverty line. Maximum likelihood method was used to estimate the factors associated with poverty. On an overall basis the logistic regression model could correctly classified about 81.5% of the total cases.
