Note:
You must not necessarily give physical cash or money directly in order to help the poor or the less privileged. You can set up an empowerment scheme where they could be empowered or work to earn a living for themselves. It is like teaching them how to fish instead of offering them the fish directly to eat. I guess it is best that way.
That is right, Giving and offering cash directly to the poor class is not a solution and I believe that this way will never overcome the poverty in particular country. As you said that teaching and treat them to have skills and improve it is the best solutions. They should maximize their skills toward money. It definitely needs a long term and extra power to do because we should set their mind in order to be productive rather than consumptive or just accepting.
