If there is so much aid in developing countries, why poverty is increasing in these regions and the industrialized world?

I'm doing a question for my project. Not only that poverty is increasing in the developing world for the worse, it is increasing in the industrialized world, especially the United States.

    Dec 28 2012: First of all the leaders would purposely keep their people poor and hungry, when the cry for help reaches the industrialized world, they end up sending a lot of aid. Once the aid reaches the poor nation it is generally stashed in Swiss bank accounts and only 10% of it might reach for the intended purposes.

    One last question to those who give out aid?, why do you aid the most wealthiest third world nations?, they have more than enough resources to help themselves, some of them have fertile land everywhere and are able to eradicate hunger, but the leaders choose not to.

    I know all this as I myself come from a third world nation. Please STOP giving aid, help yourselves out and let that money make your economy more stable.
