Illiteracy is the cause of poverty. We know a cup of coffee (Starbucks) = 20 notebooks, or a school bag, or two pairs of slippers for poor children in Vietnam.
I think bitcoin is just a crypto currency so it would be hard for it alone to help people. However, even though we all know that bitcoin alone can't do anything about it, through our willingness to help, we could help poor people who are in need through our earnings. Unity is what we really need.
Yea, you are right. If only people would care enough to share even a bit of their earnings to the less fortunate, we can really be able to help a lot of poor children in this world. Another way would be to offer free courses that teaches about crypto currencies to poor countries to help them learn about the advantages of working or investing in this industry if they do it the right way which can lead to them having enough money to get by or if lucky, experience financial freedom.
