We don't even have a strong education or infrastructure, and yet we give billions to prop up governments that do nothing for their people.

Offhand, I can't think of any giveaway programs that manage to get the aid directly to the people.
I can think of many that DON'T. For example, a friend visited Malawi on a charitable mission a couple of years ago.
The law there depended on which warlord's jurisdiction you were under. Aid was confiscated by the warlords, and distributed as they saw fit.
