I am lucky because I lived in one of the poorest places in the world, a poor village in one of the poorest countries in Africa (no running water no electric no telecommunications and so on).
An interesting story. Why do you consider them poor? Is it because they have no good work to earn money? Do you think they would not work for Western wages if they had the opportunity? Work is important. Wages are your Proof of Work. That's how you stop being poor. We all have to work. How can you morally justify someone getting rich without working when there are so many starving children in Africa?
