Giving them a small stack of money might help more, considering

And a printer, so they can make banners that say "Boy, I sure
am hungry."

And why would they want them? Nothing's worse
than being poor,
and given something worthless by someone who thinks it'll help you.
Oh, come on, that's easy to say if you're from the rich world and have had
computers for twenty years. Even I would rather have a 386 than no computer at
all.
