Poverty alleviation starts with creation
of employment. We will explore these ideas in
detail on the wiki.
A few words about language. We prefer the term poverty alleviation
tourism over 'Pro Poor Tourism,' a clumsy term with noble sentiments.
From the name it is unclear whether this tourism exploits the
poor or works toward the alleviation of poverty.
Also, watch your language and avoid poverty
porn -- the intimate depiction of poverty in film, television,
etc., seen as being for the entertainment of an audience which
is wealthy by comparison and therefore as being exploitative.
QUESTIONS

creation?

jobs and to what degree does this alleviate poverty?
