How can we end poverty?

Poverty is one the reasons why there is inequality in our world. Some people are richer and some people becomes richer. This is mostly the way of the world nowadays. It seems that the poor remains to be the poor. We can clearly feel the division between the rich ones and the poor ones. We create divisions such as material acquirement and labels such as 'first world countries' vs. 'third world countries'. This is not really fair and the world is never fair. Although, with the heightened concerned for humanity and humanitarian acts there are a lot of talks and discussion about creating solutions to end poverty.
How can we end poverty? We need, first, to create a dialouge wherein we can describe what poverty is. We need first to identify who are the poors one and who, also, are the rich ones. We need to this so we will know who we must help and who can help.
We must create avenues to address the issue of poverty. We need this to create a conciousness and make everybody aware that poverty is rampant in our world nowdays. We need to tell the people, especially the unelightened ones, that there are people that are poor and are not well-off. We need to this for us to share our thoughts on why there is poverty and by this we can trace the things that contributes to poverty.We need to this so that we can abolish those things or compromise with them so that poverty will be lessen.
We must create or support existing organizations, groups or NGOs that the main aims is to help the poor or create a narrower distance of the poor from the rich. We can support them by man power, spreading their advocacies, donating our money, and many more other ways.
We can end poverty by expanding and stretching our hands to those who we think are not that well-off. We can do this in a national level like by donating to charities or NGOs or even on individual level by giving food to your poor neighbor.
We also need to spread education because poor education leads to a poor life. Education, rather than money, will go a long way to impede the fast spread of poverty. Education mught be a slower process or a process wherein the results we want is slower to achieve but at the same time it is also the method which is more stable and will last forever.
Poverty is really hard to end especially now that it is very widespread but if we all help out then it can be possible.
