If you give a man a fish, he will be full for a day.
If you teach a man to fish, he will be full for life!

Most of us make donations to fix streets and build homeless shelters, its called taxes. Just like any charitable entity though most of the money we "donate" is lost through administration and bureaucracy.
The reason we should care about people in these other countries is that historically we have benefited from the exploitation of these people's resources. And somebody is going to be exploiting them in the future, either for our good, or for our harm.
