Usually, most of the organizations run projects which target helping the poor, but the problem which is common is that almost each and every project has a time frame.
An example, could be a project which gives $15 a month to the people living in abject poverty for 5 years, which means after 5 years, the project would come to an end, leaving the affected individuals hopeless.
To end poverty, the best way to go should involve offering free training to people on local manufacturing and these people should be those who cannot be able to offer basic life requirement themselves.
You could for example train them on how they could be able to manufacture sugar locally, which involves peeling and cutting the Sugarcane, which is later followed by juice extraction and evaporation, and cooling process.
You could also train them on local manufacturing on homemade soap which requires, caustic soda, Palm oil, perfume, dye and Jerry and steps to manufacture home soap can be found on YouTube and other online articles and are simple and straight forward.
