Yeah actually I'm living among a not-good group of people, and that's a problem with the place, city, and culture. But I'm still waiting to graduate to start figuring out what is a "better place" at least for me.

But I think reaching a "better place" is the result of the contribution of many people, and everyone should contribute with anything he/she can. For me I can contribute by solving some problems with software, and I think there are plenty of problems that we can solve with software, we just have to make getting money a second priority after making something really useful, and money will come after.

Just be careful to not over-extend yourself. If you do believe in doing good and you compromise yourself to help others, you are compromising a force for good.
