I would agree that there are a lot of programs for third world countries, and not as many at home, but it is unfair to call someone a hypocrite for helping. The people at World Vision do not advocate for people to ignore their own homelessness and other issues. They simply advocate for helping third-world countries.
Besides, there are plenty of local charities where I am from, you just have to get up and actually look, they are not as well advertised and/or known as World Vision.
