Poverty can be lessen but not eradicated, It depends on the person how to handle it.

There is difference between giving money and giving business. For example; giving a specific person a money without knowledge in proper allocation will be spend  out for nothing.But if you give him a business with proper knowledge, that person will learn  to value the money knowning how to work for it and properly bugdet it.

-Giving money to the poor  is not the solution for them to become rich.
