As a wise man said about 2000 years ago: "The poor will always be with you".

Unfortunately, the thing that is easiest to do, namely, give money to the
poor (or whatever charity you wish) doesn't help in the long run.  What
probably helps most (at least in the third world) is spreading the idea
of capitalism and a free society.

In general, there are more people living in prosperity and freedom than there
have ever been throughout human history.
