TACKLING GLOBAL POVERTY

The reality of poverty is that one third of deaths, some eighteen million people each year (50,000 per day) are due to poverty-related causes. That is three hundred million people since 1990, the majority women and children, roughly equal to the population of the United States.
Every year nearly eleven million children die before their fifth birthday. These are horrible, sobering facts.
Can we do anything to solve the problem of global poverty?
This is a recent rising interest in my heart as I seek opportunities to partner with people, groups and organizations who share similar ideals, particularly those who aim to develop entrepreneurs and enterprises, bridge the gap between entrepreneurial talent and critical business development skills, and create structured, sustainable businesses with long term potential.
Let's talk...anyone? Huh?

It is a major problem facing all over the world. Government as well as we should unite and try to mitigate poverty globally.
There are many organizations, practicing ethical trade, microfinance (provides loans to small businesses in poor countries around the world) to reduce poverty.

The Government, especially the minority ones from the 80/20 rule are deliberately continuing with the current situation because of profit. Not only the governments, but also the corporates and high authorities. All they care about is money, and profit. And I suspect there's a higher authority than government due to many reasons, but that's off-topic for now.
If we do something to make the government stop throwing the money into absolutely pointless stuff, we can be a step closer to tackling global poverty. Quite obviously, charities and donation centres are not fully helping those in need. We just need to go out there and help these people. Forget about money for a bit, and help them.. after all, they're just people!
This is also due to unfair international trade, so if we do something about that? I don't know, what do you guys think?

i think government should take care of this and people should also make them educated which can reduce the poverty to some extent. For those who are not able to educate government should make some facility rather than giving admission on caste basis.

The problem that we are facing right now is mainly due to wealth distribution and the resulting widening gap. Rich countries getting richer and poor countries getting poorer.
