Natalie, That is a good summary of some ways to help out poverty. However, I believe the “Poverty Cure” may have neglected war-torn countries with incredibly corrupt governments. Take Yemen, for example, it is currently incredibly poor, and the population is starving. The people are stuck in between two sides of a bloody civil war. As of right now, it will be complicated to start loans to that country because the people are fighting just for survival. I do not know how it would help countries like these. It is clear they require help, would now be a time for handouts, or is there another solution to this growing problem?
