Because most of the poor people in the world (majority of the population of the planet actually) have no access to clean water, food or medical care or education and that is the same as it was hundreds of years ago.

They get food, water infrastructure and medical aid from foreign aid. And then a warlord steals the food and destroys the water infrastructure, just like hundreds of years ago. If you can't organize as a functioning society, then it's gonna be like that.
