To stop poverty, we must stop corruption first. All those countries who have highest rate of poverty have highest rate of corruption. See for instance, India, Somalia, Myanmar they have common enemy aka corruption.
Issues such as corruption, ethnic and religious violence, illiteracy.etc stems from the same root cause. Until we tackle the root cause, poverty will exist in this world. I am talking about overpopulation. The planet is currently supporting 7.5 billion humans, although it has the capability to support only a fraction of that many people. There are not enough natural resources to keep everyone wealthy and therefore poverty is increasing. The largest reduction in poverty has been noticed in countries such as China, where strict population planning policies were implemented.
Undoubtedly, not everyone can be rich, but nevertheless everyone can be well-fed and dressed. One has only to pay attention to the statistics, how many different raw materials and products are utilized every year, and all this could satisfy all the needs of people in poor countries. I believe that you do not need to take an example somewhere far away, but pay attention only to the fact how much each person buys products in the store, and how much he then throws them away as unnecessary. Most people live and only spoil a significant part of the resources without using them. The same applies to electricity, heat and water. But most of all, the unprofessional government and big tycoons are to blame for this, who in any way are looking for opportunities to make money, and they do not care about people.
