You do realize that if you do accept their help you DON'T have to listen to their religious speeches right?

Like quite literally missionaries do things like build wells, and then they hold things like bible groups in their free time for anyone who wants to come, and if nobody comes... it's no big deal.

Then why did you bring missionaries into this in the first place? Seems like a bad comparison.

Because you hate missionaries. 

You hate people who go to poor countries, do nice things for them, and then ask them if they would like to hear about their religion.  Though if the people say no... they still get the help.

You hate a less extreme version of religious schools.

It's not as simple as youy make it out to be. Those people from the poor countries are uneducated and ignorant, and are easily manipulated by the missionaries.

I can't say for them all but usually the religious kind substitute education with theology. The missionaries in some cases may have been the messangers. ^_^ It comes down to what you call ignorance.

On it's own the morality of religion may not be the worst avenue but that's like beheading a politician for being a trying to tell you what to do albeit indirectly.

Put it this way, when they go and help that's a good thing, when they start demanding servitude in the place of their god that's the bad part... some draw the line at faith though, but the uneducated in things other than religion hardly make that distinction.
