If I were starving to death I would not particularly care if Western countries had a negative stereotype of my country if this meant that charities were not allowed to give me clean water, food and medical care.
Although it is important to change the system, this is a long term goal, in the short term charity and depressing images of starving kids are, unfortunately, necessary.

but you can easily find links to UNESCO/ UNICEF /international rotary club/ lions clubs/ and then onto masonic lodges all of these also collect money for "charitable" causes .it's one big front ...

Actually, the relationship between government and non-government organisations is often rather more cosy than you suggest although I don’t deny that charities can achieve an improvement in some peoples lives and some are involved in government lobbying towards changes in international and national social policy. However, staff working for charities at the top end, often live lives not dissimilar to colonialists in other countries, surrounded by appalling poverty. Walled enclosures, black servants, big expensive parties..
Also charity itself is a way for government to slither away from responsibility for the deaths of so many people globally for corporate and political reasons. The World Bank and other structures of capitalism wield enormous power and the view of development promoted (with structural “adjustments” within countries, that destroy and distort local infrastructures with terrible human consequences) has become the usual norm. In a sense, charity is a sticking plaster beneath which the wound continues to fester, but it makes the skin look better (and there is the feel-good factor to!). The whole issue of development is really worth looking at whenever you've got a spare few hours. The point is that charities are often complicit and make interesting compromises as they follow the money.
Also in some cases, (such as some refugee charities), the charity acts as an agent of the state in the implementation of asylum policy, for example..
Finally, I like this image. Depressing images of starving kids often produce the opposite result to the one intended and do not address any of the political reasons.

Similar criticisms could be made without trying too hard about charitable programmes to "help the poor" in this country.

oh how absolutely wonderfull "the poor" will be delighted ..

They write a lot of and they talk a lot of shit because they are not really supposed to do anything and they have to make some kind of excuse, to themselves, to explain what the fuck they are doing.
They are just lackies to the corporate power brokers who certainly couldn't give a toss about "the poor" wether they live in the UK or some other shot hole. The sheeple will conitnue to follow them to hell while we conspiracy theorists might not survive much longer longer but at least we'll know who and why for they did it ..
