antipoverty

/ˌæntaɪˈpɑvɝti/, /ˌæntiˈpɑvɝti/ adj

That serves to alleviate poverty.

Word Origin Antipoverty combines 'anti-' (against) with 'poverty', from Latin 'pauper' (poor). The root 'pauper' literally meant 'producing little' (from *pau- 'few, little' + *parere 'to produce'), so poverty is the state of having little. Related words include impoverish (to make poor) and pauperize. The 'anti-' prefix is the same as in antiseptic and antipathy.
