Why are poor countries still poor with all the money that yearly events generate? E.g. Comic Relief.

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.

Problems lie deeper than just giving a child a blanket. Unless something drastic changes in their society, poverty will always remain present. Corruption, crime, etc. keep them poor.

Also, it takes a TON of money to do anything on a large scale. Feeding one child is relatively cheap. Feeding a million is not.
