What are your ideas for solutions around helping our generation's effort to end extreme poverty in the world?

[Just Q]

Education,government reform in their countries,seeing that 99.99% of monies donated to those causes actually get to them instead of lining the pockets of those claiming to be there to help the cause.
Knowing and understanding those countries cultures and beliefs.
Modern technology would not hurt them either...with help from the outside world.
We have become a selfish,ME oriented society that sits back in our comfortable settings waiting for the government to take care of things.
The generation of today only want,want,want, and give,give,give is NOT in their vocabulary and we of this generation are to blame for that.
More things got done in people's lives 100-125 yrs ago when we were a God fearing country,when we were a country of morals and compassion and when we were as equally willing to help our neighbor as we were to help ourselves.
Not to be on a religious kick but though we do not know how to do these things,GOD can and will if he is sought and he has a plan for these things.
Prayer NEVER hurt anything and if more people were to seek GOD in a prayer that speaks of others as much as it speaks of themselves,no one knows what could happen.
We spend billions every year on alcohol and tobacco in an effort to have instant gratification because we don't spend enough time asking GOD for relief and actually give him the time to help us.
Open our hearts,think of someone other than ourselves and ask GOD to lead us where we need to go and we might actually see something happen.
