Jesus said the poor will always be with you, so we will never overcome poverty in this world due to nations that take advantage and abuse their own people, ignorance (as you mentioned), and many other factors. I was amazed in my foreign travels at how happy many of these people are. There are days I'd trade my American life style for the happy carefree life I've seen in others. There is a lot to be said about simplicity and focus on what is important. If they have Jesus, the poverty isn't as important, it's those with spiritual poverty that are the poorest of people and many of them are living the American Dream.
