Be careful that you are falling in to a simple trap!
helping people can be in a number of ways, not simply money.
Give somebody food and they can feed themself for a day. Give them the means to produce their own food and they will become self-sufficient.
People who die hungry ar most ly located in countries torn apart by war. The infrastructure collapses and people have little or no hope.
The second problem is corruption - where governments filter out the money/food etc before it reaches the people most in need.
You could try voluntary service overseas or look at what skills you have to offer to help these people.
Volunteering is extremely satisfying and offering your time, education, skills, friendship is better than simply giving them money.
