How about give them food? I know it seems like a stupid answer but that doesn't seem to be happening. In the countries that are willing to accept our charity, count the hungry and divide out enough food for everyone. We and the USA have too much food anyway. My second idea is equality, but that never going to work.

sounds like deaths solution to hunger in terry pratchett: give the poor a slap-up meal... trouble is theres problems about just feeding the poor a) what people can eat (the usa always send milk powder which is useless thru much of the 3rd world) b) distribution c) corruption d) preventing dependance culture

Some countries don't want us helping out, they see it as charity and they don't want to look poor. Like Zimbabwe.

I think the best is long term aid Medics, doctors working for a year People to show them how to use their resources aka farming Teachers etc.
These countries don't want to live of us, they need support and then they want to produce thir own means of money and medical supplies etc.
