battikh wroteare you serious? the MAJORITY? probably some, yes, but the MAJORITY? are you serious?
you know that most of the people who are poor are people who actually work. they just get the worst jobs and get paid 1$/month.
and for africa, if there are no jobs available, how can you work? or maybe this guy is just too lazy to work:

or he's not part of the "majority" of poor people as you call them? if not, then who's that majority? where are they? if they are the MAJORITY, they should be easy to identify.
i'm sorry, but i find it outrageous not to feel compassion with these people and putting all the blame on them for being "lazy" and not wanting to work. when you're sick, can't find food, water, ... where do you want to work? people who usually don't WANT to work are people in europe/usa/... who are just ok for living at the expense of the government. that's NOT the case in africa, india, ...
Sorry, suffering kids pictures won't make me sob and cry. Yes, i agree they deserve better life, but even you give them some help, their adult neighbours will steal all of that.
I can post also some pics where "black" people doing evil things, but it is not a solution.
Yes, i am sure, i will say again: MAJORITY. _Not all_, but majority.
Look at Nigeria, "oil" country, rich people having fun in expensive boats and vine in one side, and extreme poverty (people don't know what is electricity even) on another side.
Look at Republic of South Africa. When "whites" was running it, it was most successful country in Africa. After apartheid was finished(20 years ago) economics jumped up, but mostly because of removed sanctions. Now it is country with highest crime level. Some info from wiki:
It is estimated that a woman born in South Africa has a greater chance of being raped than learning how to read. One in three of the 4,000 women questioned by the Community of Information, Empowerment and Transparency said they had been raped in the past year. South Africa has some of the highest incidences of child and baby rape in the world. In a related survey conducted among 1,500 schoolchildren in the Soweto township, a quarter of all the boys interviewed said that 'jackrolling', a term for gang rape, was fun.
Can you believe
HUMANS can do that? Can you believe such schoolchildren in other countries? They got now all rights, what the heck they need more?
Along with many African nations, South Africa has been experiencing a "brain drain" in the past 20 years. This is believed to be potentially damaging for the regional economy, and is almost certainly detrimental for the well-being of the majority of people reliant on the healthcare infrastructure, given the HIV/AIDS epidemic. The skills drain in South Africa tends to demonstrate racial contours (naturally given the skills distribution legacy of South Africa) and has thus resulted in large white South African communities abroad.
And last question, why in USA it is well know dangerous for "white" to appear at evening in "black" area?
Why doesn't happen such in chinese, russian or any other "national ghetto" in same USA?
Why you can see tons of "homeless" black people asking for few dollars and it is very difficult to find such chinese?
The most strange thing i will say, issue is not that "black" people is worse than others, but problem that "white" people corrupted them. "Whites" feel sorry for crime that happen hundreds of years ago, and smallest issue happen, if criminal with black skin will start to cry about tolerance and racism, whites will feel sorry and try to "sort out issue". This simply corrupts and leaves the criminals go unpunished. Another case, many my friends faced, when you search a job and you have competition, it is enough for "other race" person to say that potential employer going to exclude him from racism reasons, that will make employer scared, and will force to accept "other race" person even with worse skills. Everybody should get equal punishment, fair job distribution by skills, and not skin color.
Another issue is religion. It is well known by my friends, that african muslims much better in everything (education, manners). And most important, it is much less HIV/AIDS infection rate between african muslims, than africans with other religions. Guess why. But this question is unclear for me, because for example Somalia is mostly muslim area, but still drowning in violence.
I know many other countries, where kids are suffering, and they need help.
Good example is India and China. They was very poor, but they are changing their life and their life becoming better. Another example Vietnam and Cambodia. They had a war, very bloody war, they was almost destroyed. Now they are much better. Look to many other nations, who have big challenges, most of them solved their issues.
And only few, associated with "permanent need for help". You should not send them just food, it is corrupting them and degrading them, better offer is to help them to improve their agriculture, so they can feed themselves.
Sure this money can be spent all to save thousands of lifes just by giving them food, but if they are spent for science, they will save millions and billions lifes in future. Science requires victims. And more important, don't live just for today needs, think about future.
