Well, I'm not talking for the lazy people that just want government funds. Of course not. If they choose to be lazy, then they deserve to not have a house and whatnot.
The people I'm talking about are extremely poor people(especially kids) in forced labor, working in factories. Those type of people. The ones that can work 72 hours a week but still get little amounts of money.
I don't care for helping the people that want 15 bucks an hour for working at McDonalds. I care more for the ones that practically have little to no chance to succeed in life. Of course, you may say everyone has a chance to succeed, but let's be honest here- some people simply fail to bring a bright future. There are probably thousands of Africans who've tried whatever they could to get a better life, but in the end failed.
The ones who've used all their effort are the ones who deserve much more decent lives. They shouldn't be scrapping for food and live in a destroyed home.

Frankly, that's not the world's problem.

Does that mean we must also avoid women's rights issues if it doesn't concern the whole world?
I fail to see your reasoning behind your last comment. Why must it involve the whole world in order to be a recognizable issue?

Well, the US can't do anything about women's right in other countries because it's not their country or territory. Women in those countries have to fight for their own rights. Unless you're talking about forcing any country that disagrees with the US to change.
Each country have to deal with their own problems as they see fit unless the problem in question actually affects other countries in a negative way. Poverty in Africa is not a world problem or world issue but iran messing around with nuclear tech is at the very least an issue to the world because that could become a real threat.
