Even in countries like mine the divide between rich and poor is widening. I was chatting with someone recently here about the disappearance of the middle class, some slip backwards and some climb upwards but it's more often not the former.

With that gap most often comes healthcare and education issues. It's interesting to note that here those in the lower socioeconomic demographic have more unhealthy diets and more nutrition-related health issues.

I can only imagine what what it must be like in less-affluent countries.

I'm not surprised to hear that sufficient funds were not raised as I think many don't rate the well-being of people like Fernando very highly. Maybe it's way cooler for people to support other more socially-accepted concepts that can be bragged about on Facebook by those donating. It's good for credibility after all right?

Most charities don't do nearly enough to help those in need preferring to spend funds on themselves, big incomes, cars and junkets. Administrative expenses. For this reason people are beginning to mistrust them, myself included.

I support a few but see the funds directly reach those in need with my own eyes.

I like your concepts and feel quite confident that you'd do food things with a bucket of funds given to you for charity use. No one should be without basic health care.
