Because most of the poor people in the world (majority of the population of the planet actually) have no access to clean water, food or medical care or education and that is the same as it was hundreds of years ago.

They get food, water infrastructure and medical aid from foreign aid. And then a local warlord steals the food and destroys the water infrastructure, to enslave them, just like hundreds of years ago. If you lack the foundational values to self organize as a functioning society, then it's just gonna be like that for a long time.
