Answer 3

Mentor, share life experience and know how.  Volunteer, be willing to help others instead of just yourself.  

Answer 4

Poverty is generally a symptom of something else. If you merely treat symptoms, you will have as temporary impact as an aspirin has on a migraine. At least in the US, you are extremely unlikely to live in poverty if you:

a. Finish high school

b. Work at a job -- any job

c. Get married and have children -- in that order

Reducing poverty would involve attacking the things that prevent or incent people from following those rules.
