Minimal effort but maximum help the hungry?

Hi everyone,
I learnt in college that over 1 billion out of the 6 billion people in the world today are starving. That's people living below $2 a day and are termed as chronically hungry. It's time to stop thinking just about ourselves. I was thinking of a way to help them without forking out money at all. This is the idea:

Create an affiliate marketting site with just banner links to sites like amazon etc. Donate the profits to charity(particularly for starving people). Marketting efforts must be very aggresive but that would be the only cost.

Do you think this is viable? I am willing to work with anyone on this project.

    Most charities exist mostly for giving the exec's a lucrative salary. Very few funds actually make it to the hungry. You want to help starving people? Put food straight in their hands and avoid the funding organizations.

    And it's not 6 bil - it's almost 7 bil. We crossed carrying-capacity already. We have entered the beginning stages of mass famine already. You need to start worrying about your own food future right now - everyone. buy seeds, get organized to or start growing wherever you can. Be ready in some areas for drought conditions and water wars that will take out your plants. If you are in open range where grazers and chickens can feed themselves, get a few stock animals - milk, cheese, eggs - and meat if it comes to it. Have a place you can hide your supplies and a gun to protect them.

    No not kidding. If this winter and spring throws any crop failure curves at us, we're in serious dooky.
