I have spent years in Third-World countries in Asia. The JW's do NOTHING materially to help the poor (I mean as an Org. - some individuals may be kindly). In countries like the Philippines they actually TAKE contributions for the WWW. This is a country where $4 is considered a good daily wage.
It's all quite sad - in a country where most can speak English to some degree, the JWs I have met so far all were unable to, having finished school early. In this country if you don't have 2 years college behind you don't expect to find work that pays. Yet they still spout the JW line here too about avoiding college. They are destroying the future for a generation of JWs - and just like the youths in 1975 (I was one) - Armageddon will not be coming and they will grow old in this system - with nothing.

The following link explains the WT's view on charity. They would rather collect funds to buy and renovate buildings or acquire land to built buildings they can eventually sell for a profit. It's like multi-level-marketing where the product is only an excuse to attract members to join your scheme...

Here's a picture of J Rutherford during the great depression, the once president of the WTS. publishing house.
Does this guy look like he cares about the poor and the disadvantaged in society ?

My brother visited the branch in Benin and during his visit a child needed hospital treatment for a life-threatening desease that already killed a sibbling. The parents couldn't afford the treatment and the child was going to die. My brother asked the brothers at bethel what could they do to help and the reponse was that it was up to him to help...that if the WT didn't have the funds to help those who are sick...all that was needed was $500 and my brother paid it to save the child's life. The sad part is that this experience has not rattled my brother's faith in the WT.
