Good lord.
This comment of mine is probably going to get deprecated down to -1 and beyond, but it needs saying anyway:
We already have a perfectly good technology for combatting poverty. It's called socialism.
How many people read this article on the way to work, on their expensive new Christmas phones, absentmindedly stepping over homeless people they only semi-see.
It's not the tech that's the problem. It's us. All of us. Shape up and start giving your resources away. If you need specific recommendations, ask.
