You got to be kidding. If you want to end poverty help the needy people. Help out at a homeless shelter or a food pantry. Contribute your time and money. Signing a piece of paper will not feed one person. The UN is to corrupt to do any good.

If you mean like extreme poverty like in Africa, then people should manually come inside africa and put money in the poor people's hands, because half a trillion dollars was spent into africa, and look how rich african dictators are?
I believe the money African dictators get should be stripped from them and they should be given to their civilians.
And Western countries should stop "testing drugs in Africa" I completely support your ideology but just wait till Jesus comes he will solve everything with his fellow Muslims to follow him (yes Jesus was muslim) but everyone should help po' people as the 61 year old stated because them po' people are your brothers (i believe your african american, am i right?)

Well Sweet Pea, I'm 61 years old and it's just like my Grandmother used to say, "Po folks have po ways." In other words, If you gave most poor people a hundred thousand bucks, within a month they would probably be broke again. They might have a new pickup and some new toys, but broke...
