I'm frustrated that the poor in my country keep dragging down living standards with their lack of education and high crime rates. What can be done about the problem of the poor?

Helping poor communities in any country requires a comprehensive approach and long-term commitment. Educational initiatives can help lift individuals out of poverty by giving them the skills and opportunities they need to make a living. Community-led programs can help combat poverty by addressing its root causes like lack of housing, job security and access to health services. Governments should prioritize initiatives which focus on empowering poor communities to create a lasting positive change.
