You don't have to go overseas to do this - I'm sure there are people stuck in a poverty and/or welfare cycle in your own city right now who would love some help. There are also people in your own city with a few extra bucks in their pocket that would be happy to buy a locally made good, especially if they knew they were helping a struggling neighbor. For a drastically smaller start up cost you could prove your concept and have a much easier job of fundraising afterwards (if you still needed to,) possibly even attracting a philanthropy minded venture capitalist.
