I have put up the first of a series of links that are to reputable organizations that, for a nominal amount of money, will get you started on your way to breaking the cycle of poverty, even if it is only one goat, AIDS orphan, or weaving loom at a time.  That’s how it gets started.  And that one person at the other end surely does care that you contributed.  So, go to a link and see what you can do!
