Possible solutions• Richer governments and charities actually
choose which poor countries to help, usually giving
no help to those poor countries whose
governments are considered 'unfriendly', and
they also choose how to help
• Improving supplies of clean water.
• Improving the supply of accessible, affordable
health care information and services, to
reduce the vulnerability to disease of children
and the elderly especially.
• Improving the training and equipment of
farmers in poor countries related to agriculture
and natural resource management, to help
increase crop yields and conserve the environment
• Improving the quality of education for poor
children.
• Improving opportunities and incentives for
poor.

for the poor and the families.
