I haven’t done any research on this so there are probably a lot of factors that I haven’t considered. Just genuinely intrigued as the charity adverts you see on TV imply that it doesn’t take a lot of money to feed one child or buy a blanket etc.

Charities tend to just focus on providing essential and immediate supplies for those in need. Systematic, long-term, sustainable improvement takes much longer and is very costly. Even then, many problems faced in poorer countries require more than money.
