Another solution is to continue the widespread availability of soup kitchens, homeless shelters, and discount clothing stores. These solutions will not end poverty, but it will help those in need. Another solution is for the privileged to volunteer their time, money, food, and clothes. It will make them feel good about themselves. Another solution is the parents need to help themselves.
Parents have to want to provide a good life for themselves and their family.
Some parents depend on others to raise their children. For example, all of the parents that do not pay for child support expect society to take care of their children through welfare. A final solution is making sure the children are given the education they deserve. I believe this would really help decrease poverty. If children are given the opportunity to achieve, I believe most of them will.
