Take action to help the poor

Instructions

Focus on the individual needs of those in poverty.
Charity can be better suited to address the unique needs of individuals, rather than abstractly defined groups.
Encourage personal responsibility.
Many charities emphasize the importance of personal responsibility and good character in overcoming poverty.
Provide emotional support.
In addition to material resources, you can also provide emotional support to those in need, such as by helping the able-bodied move toward employment or simply showing that you care.
Find happiness in helping others.
The hedonistic paradox states that those who seek happiness for themselves will not find it, but those who help others will. Altruism has been linked to greater well-being, health, and longevity.
