They give money to poorly run governments, knowing that the money won't be going to their intended purposes, just so they can control the leaders of the country. Most of the money goes into private slush funds of the heads of state, their families and those in control of the government. Little of the money actually goes to aiding the poor. It's as corrupt an institution as you can get.
