I bet that would create more problems for the people. Education, electricity, clean water etc. would probably help them more; however, there is so much corruption in those poor countries you would need the help/experieince of established charities to do anything meaningful. Bad things would happen if you just came by with handfuls of money.
Nice thought, though.
