No.
Band aid.
Band aid 2.
Band aid 20.
Live aid.
In all, Geldof and Ure's wheeze – copied in America as USA for Africa – put more than £150m into famine relief. The Band Aid Trust still has an income of about £2m a year, which is spent in Ethiopia, Sudan, Uganda, Eritrea, Somalia and Nigeria.

Ah, one of my favorites songs and so much talent in one room. I never get tired of hearing it. In 1985, We Are The World raised in excess of $63 million ($141 million, adjusted for inflation), of which about 90 percent was sent to Africa.27 Mar 2016
The major problem is too many people.
\\Ethiopia doesn't want attention distracted from its achievements in education, trade and infrastructure. But its population has doubled to 80 million since 1984, and its rural economy is said to be less productive than that of medieval England.//

The problem in Africa is that the British, French and Dutch carved up the continent. Before they stuck their oar in, African people could migrate to other areas when the rains didn't come. They can't do that now because there is a border in their way. Hence, they are stuck in an area and famine is the result
No, I have no compunction to buy chief mumbo jumbo's 45th rolls royce. I do not give to any of these "charities" because none of it gets anywhere near those that need it. That goes for all of the head line charities. I only give to local good causes directly for specific things. Charities these days are purely to make money for the low lives that leech for them.
Is very depressing. Only 20% gets through to the people who need it. The receiving countries bump up landing charges for Oxfam's planes landing and for the storage of the aid and the rest gets stolen. Disgusting they are doing this to their own people. Man's inhumanity to man!
Despite that I have to give something.

Absolutely not.
Most of the reasons have already been explained. But chiefly is that I already donate handsomely to the government's £11bn "Overseas Development" budget. They can use some of that to develop proper facilities in areas where it is totally unsuitable for humans to live even if they were not inclined to interminably fight each other and have far more children than the land is able to support .
