Stages
------
The functional design of this Beta Site reflects only 40% of Stage One planning.

Poverty's Demise.org's forecasted development schedule appears like this:

* Stage One: Poverty
* Stage Two: Education
* Stage Three: Homelessness
* Stage Four: Environment

Stage One Concept
-----------------

(PDO) can be thought of as a technological road map for self-sustainable child poverty alleviation that is a combination of Facebook, PayPal, and eBay, except PDO is nonprofit, open-source, and pacifist. Donors and poor children receive web-based user profiles (like Facebook). Using a Donor Portal connected to support accounts, which hold cash donations (like PayPal), donors can purchase specific social welfare related items from a simple shopping cart interface (like eBay). The Social Welfare Shopping Cart represents the sum total of all of a child's needs for healthy development (food, clothing, shelter, health-care, education, etc.). In the future, if every child born into poverty has a full social welfare shopping cart from PDO tax deductible donations, poverty will end.
