Before I even read further in your posting, in most communities where poverty is spelt in CAPS there hasnt been no INCOME at all in almost every family! Do you still stick by your above statement? (Better you picture kids and women picking grains of maize and rice from the ground from ruptured "
USA AID" bags, ...)

I just wanted to talk about poverty in the city,
JoshGM, not in the third world country.
However, there exist a solution for your problem
JoshGM. I've read a religious story about a pregnant she-camel, sent down by God onto a community, and was commanded by God; not to be slain, (but they slain it anyway, and God destroyed them).
- What if we do the same? we use the charity money to airlift 100 pregnant she-camel to a remote desert with poor people, and left it there...
Also, on the side of the camel we should stamp: "
Do not slain!". I'm sure they will obey if they know the story. We also include the camels with a manual that teach how to handle a camel, how to get milk, how to ride it, how to use it as labor, ect,ect.
- Those camel will definitely be usefull as source of nutritious milk, and perhaps a delicious meat if people are patient enough to let them multiply.

I think,
The current problem in third world is caused by; us forcing all poor people to stay together too close, (it became a mini cities!). IF there's too much people stay together, there'll be less space for breeding camel. Besides... are they ONE family? if they are not, then it would be difficult to make them share the camels.
Another problem is;
We are laboring those people into making building and stuff, which I think , is too fast. There's no economy to support those building.

Here's how I understood the word "city".
Cities.
Imagine a city in africa. (1)
- FIRST, people from all over africa bring salt from north (using camel), and rice from south (using petrol powered long-boat).
- at this city, they exchange those goods.
- IF the exchange is abundant, some people will stay on the city and became a seller (the middle man), and the rest continue be the provider.
- NOW, the seller got childrens, so he expand his business to get more money.
- hence, his kid had abundant food and love, so they developed a specialized skills. i.e. bread making (which they learnt from their mother).
- FEW years later, these kid became an adult and created a bread business.
- then they himself had childrens, and ther expand their business.
----this cycle continue until there's no more new product to create.*-----
- The only way to get more money is to be a capitalist.
- a capitalist bought the camel-man's and the farmer's business, and they both became an employee.
- then the camel-man had childrens, but this children is doomed to be jobless.
- his wage aren't enough for many children.
- ALSO; the camel-man cannot expand his business because he's not the owner anymore.
- the capitalist won't risk his revenue for new factory.
- no job... but so much children.
- SO the children go to school. They learn how to make bread, make cloth, using typewritter, ect, ect...
- now they are forced to live in the city.
---- modern economy----
*The city didn't progress further because the ruler was dead. The ruler previously export super duper alot of gold (which angered local people) into Mecca to import intellectuals into his city. But the effort wasn't completed...
(1) city of "Timbuktu". I saw it on "Digging For Truth"
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timbuktu en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mansa_Musa .

Poor people in the city is poor because they can't fit in. There're no family business anymore to depend on.
- perhaps there's internship... hmmm... that might work. (like in the movie "Happyness")
