You don't know if these initiatives did "nothing." In fact, it's possible that some of these programs helped underprivileged children achieve better lives.
I understand that creating jobs and helping create successful businesses is the right thing to do.
But you can't dismiss the effort focused on lifting underprivileged children out of poverty and making them successful, contributing members of society. If there is some success... it's a good thing.
