A lot of measures need to be taken to fully eradicate worldwide poverty. Theoretically it could be done through redistribution of wealth but the political leaders and religious leaders being so corrupt would never let it happen. Donations to charities only a small amount of money ends up going to help the poor people in need.

To be fair:

Redistributing wealth to Africa would never work. As others have said, any wealth would be hoarded by the leaders, and never allowed to go away from their soldiers and the rest in power. Redistribution is based on the (faulty) assumption that all people act equal when equal money is given to them, and this is furthest from the truth.

Of corse, if you want to re-distribute your wealth to the Africans, feel free to. See how far it gets you and them.

Can I add another point to this. Redistribution of wealth doesn't work unless you have the industry to back it up too.

When money is sent to Africa, where do you think it ends up? With that money they have to buy food, medicine and many expendable commodities that are bought from the developed world.The money goes there, but it will often end up back in the developed world because they produce what the undeveloped world requires. And everyone is back to square one.

The solution would be to try and keep the money in the local economy by using the money to try and produce what is needed.
