Unfortunately, the mindset of many poor people, reinforced by history, is that a family has to have many children because most of them will die off before the age of five. The adults need to have children to help provide food and support them in their old age. Fewer children means certain starvation.

Money put into education and creating jobs is far more likely to end hungar than the handout system. And does anyone know who really controls where the money to help poor countries is used? Does anyone chart progress and determine the success?
