PLEASE listen to Mr. Martleew. I have been saying for years food aid should only be exchanged for work on projects to make developing nations self sufficient. This will cost $0 to implement. It is as simple as handing out food at the end of a day's work (obviously not forgetting about those to malnourished or sick to work). This will not only benefit the US and European suppliers of aid, but the recipients of aid as well. Hand outs never help make a country self sufficient. I "donate" money at kiva.org. You can contribute to micro loans to small business owners in developing nations. The best part is you get your money back and can lend it to another business owner. I am not affiliated with this site, but do use it, and believe it is a great way to put your money to work over and over.
