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

Quite frankly, I don't see our generations effort in helping the poor. The ME and X generation are only concerned about their pocket books and could care less on who they have to crawl over to make money. Given they screw their own employees, you aren't going to get anything from them.

I don't know, we need to educate people that his world is not theirs to take and take and take!

The UN's, one of them, is to end poverty, but we barely participate.

And it isn't only poverty. It's disease.

There is no quick fix, but it seems those of moderate means are going to have to use many agencies in place.

One of the big issues is the bribery it takes to get anything through.

Governments don't seem willing to do it, they are more interested in building subs with multiple war head nuke missiles on them!

I guess we are going to have to do it our selves. One way would be to unite and force the administration to get involved in the issue or be voted out of office,

Perhaps we need a few websites where we can go to help.

What we don't need are more agencies that say they help but keep 95 cents of every dollar.

We keep letting the greedy get a way with murder. Many is this country are poor and most of the people in this country are 2 paychecks from poverty!

Nothing is easy, but as a group of people world wide maybe a difference can be made!

I mean does the CEO of Anthem really need a 2 Million dollar salary and a 12 million dollar bonus a year, and out insurance rates keep going up!

Two words

Fair Trade

The reason being that if one half of the world is poor, the other half must be pretty rich. People enjoy being rich and are often only concerned with getting richer.

In order to get the richer half to provide for the poor half, an incentive needs to be provided. Trade is something that excites everyone. There are many materials and even services that can be traded fairly, as right now the most trade is not fair at all.

So yes, its Fair Trade.

I have a system that I will suggest.
Any person who saves more than the worth of 40 grams of gold in one whole year pays 2.5% of his money "savings". If each person does this, including rich people, the poverty problem will be put to an end.
It is a small fraction of each persons fortune which we give to the needy people such as poor, orphans, etc.

Lets say, for example, that there is a person who could save $10000 for one whole year. Using this system he will pay only $250 a year and forget any other charity after this. If we say that 1000000 individuals did that we will have 250*1000000=$250000000. Which I think will make some difference.

This is called "Alzakah". It is the third pillar of Islam's main five pillars.

I know that this will sound cruel to some people, but think about it: how many stray cats and dogs are put to sleep every year in this country? Millions, right? And how many cultures around the world consider cats and dogs to be okay to eat?

I think that if we were to send (healthy) strays that were going to be put down anyways to starving countries, we could solve a few problems at once: starving people would have a source of meat, and we wouldn't have the pet overpopulation problem. It might be hard to organize, but it would help a lot of people too.

It's not exactly an answer to poverty, but it would help a lot of people who either can't afford food or don't have any available.

Send supplies of food in poor areas and build the people's houses yourself with help. give them that kind of stuff for free then one day when they earn money they can pay you for your effort.
Then it will give the country a quick start to end poorness.
