Two words
Fair Trade The reason being that if one half of the world is poor, the other half must be pretty rich. People enjoy being rich and are often only concerned with getting richer. In order to get the richer half to provide for the poor half, an incentive needs to be provided. Trade is something that excites everyone. There are many materials and even services that can be traded fairly, as right now the most trade is not fair at all. So yes, its Fair Trade. |

I have a system that I will suggest.
Any person who saves more than the worth of 40 grams of gold in one whole year pays 2.5% of his money "savings". If each person does this, including rich people, the poverty problem will be put to an end. It is a small fraction of each persons fortune which we give to the needy people such as poor, orphans, etc. Lets say, for example, that there is a person who could save $10000 for one whole year. Using this system he will pay only $250 a year and forget any other charity after this. If we say that 1000000 individuals did that we will have 250*1000000=$250000000. Which I think will make some difference. This is called "Alzakah". It is the third pillar of Islam's main five pillars. |

In some countries, two dollars is a lot. You can make water filtering straws for 7 cents. CHEAPO

Nothing. There are too many people and not enough supplies.

I know that this will sound cruel to some people, but think about it: how many stray cats and dogs are put to sleep every year in this country? Millions, right? And how many cultures around the world consider cats and dogs to be okay to eat?
I think that if we were to send (healthy) strays that were going to be put down anyways to starving countries, we could solve a few problems at once: starving people would have a source of meat, and we wouldn't have the pet overpopulation problem. It might be hard to organize, but it would help a lot of people too. It's not exactly an answer to poverty, but it would help a lot of people who either can't afford food or don't have any available. |
