Think about it...what can we do to end poverty? by Carla Mikkola https://padlet.com/carlamikkola1/h1zd7v9ydt2w Made with a bold sensibility en-us 2017-04-05 19:51:42 UTC 2025-10-02 04:47:21 UTC hello@padlet.com Ending Poverty https://padlet.com/carlamikkola1/h1zd7v9ydt2w/wish/165471822 I think there are some ways to end poverty such as governments reducing the taxes and costs of living to prevent homelessness, malnutrition, and health issues that come from the above. Also I think that if the more richer people in the country should have to pay more or donate to the people who are struggling such as donating to individual communities and they make a choice to divide the donated funds up and distribute to the less fortunate people of the community.

I believe that we do not spend enough resources teaching children who are in elementary and secondary schools "life skills" that are very important to overcoming obstacles, such as budgeting money, how to pay bills, how to save money, access to resources. I also believe that the lower class, working class are treated very unfairly. We live in a society where the poor and low class are taxed to the point of breaking, and we live in a world where the rich get richer, whereas the poor get poorer.

- Help and support the poor. Introduce them to the resources that are available for them like food banks.
- Donate and fund raise money for the poor whenever you can.
- Do not stereotype people going through poverty but help them to overcome it. Encourage people to find the resources and get education.
- In college, let the students who go through poverty know about the resources available like bursaries, clothing depot, food bank etc.
- The government should reduce taxes on poor. Have some way to get groceries and articles of daily living at a subsidized rate or free of cost.
- Create job opportunities wherever and whenever possible.

I believe that the best way to end poverty is to invest in human capital in all public institutions. For example, individuals are in the educational system for at least 1/3 of his or her life and is mandatory for all class levels. If the education system focused on human development rather than the ridge general school cirriculim then improvements can be ingrained in children and with begin to reverse the intergenrational barriers that people in poverty experience]]> 2017-04-12 17:50:46 UTC https://padlet.com/carlamikkola1/h1zd7v9ydt2w/wish/166137858 Ending poverty sarwal1998 https://padlet.com/carlamikkola1/h1zd7v9ydt2w/wish/246640339 We can help end poverty by all coming together to help the ones in need. We can do this by all donating or raising money for the poor and creating more resources to be able to help them by providing groceries, clothing, education and living quarters. Also we should promote jobs to the less fortunate and that way they are able to have an income.
