Perhaps the benefits outweigh the price. But who decides that? The people putting money in. The problem is that people don't put money in. For instance, you can help feed these people for very little money and very little work. However, people don't participate. Why not? It is not worth their time. SAVING PEOPLE IS NOT WORTH THEIR TIME. Do you see something wrong with this? I do, but I am not doing everything I can either, so I can't complain too much. Once again, I am just trying to keep things in real world perspective.
Another thing: If it breaks, how hard is it to fix? Could you teach somebody with no understanding of technology to fix it? If not, then they will probably never get fixed and this will limit the overrall effectiveness.
