Can poverty ever be eradicated?

I think that poverty can never be eradicated, it can only be minimized. From the article “Can the poor countries be rich?”, it is mentioned that poorer countries can never get rich on their own without help as importing technologies requires money and earning money requires technology. Thus, richer nations can lend a helping hand to the poorer ones by providing them with financial aids or loans. However, in my opinion, poorer nations cannot always depend on richer ones to help them, as these richer nations might not find it feasible to always give aid to them. Thus, poorer nations may be better off with the aids the richer nations had given, but not to the extent that all poverty is eradicated from the country. Therefore, poorer nations should also help themselves, for example, by introducing a better education system, as education is the key to being rich. Moreover, it is mentioned that the geography of a country determines its wealth. Thus, it is impossible to eradicated poverty as there is no way to change the geography around you, as the only way is too expensive.

Furthermore, some government in poorer nations practices corruption. Even if richer nations give aids to them, their government would simply keep the money of its own use. One example is the fact that Indonesian government keeping most the money Singapore had gave to aid the local farmers in an effort to reduce deforestation and forest fires. In such countries, poverty can never be eradicated.
