This document discusses poverty and ways to reduce it. It notes that around 700 million people worldwide still live in extreme poverty. To address poverty locally, social protection systems, shelter, food, water, healthcare, and equal access to resources need to be provided. The government also needs to help those in need of food, housing, and clothes. On an individual level, the greatest contribution someone can make is to ensure everyone has access to necessities like food and medical care. Providing education and training programs can help people increase their income and job opportunities. Social media can help spread information about reducing poverty worldwide.
