The best way to end poverty is to simply give people work, which isn't considered 'sexy' among donors who want to fund a preschool or cure a disease.

Anticipate charity by preventing poverty.
I have seen that traditional approaches to charity and aid don't solve problems of poverty. In fact, too often they create dependence.
The best antidote to poverty remains simple - a paycheck. Policies like paid family leave, workplace flexibility and affordable quality childcare can make the difference for two-parent or single-parent working families who struggle to make ends meet.
We think sometimes that poverty is only being hungry, naked and homeless. The poverty of being unwanted, unloved and uncared for is the greatest poverty. We must start in our own homes to remedy this kind of poverty.
We can't end poverty if we fail to save the lives of our world's mothers.
I can't solve the poverty problem, but there are things you can do to mitigate its effects on kids.
You can't raise the aspirations of a child and then leave them hanging. Poverty can't be solved by a project. It's solved by a relationship, collaboration.
I can't eradicate poverty, but at least for the people around me, I can help make sure no child is denied a dream.
I believe that poverty is often the result of inappropriate behavior - out-of-wedlock births, dropping out of school, crime and drugs - which should not be rewarded. But often it isn't, and common decency requires that we take care of the least of these.
You can't get rid of poverty by giving people money.
