Aren't you too pessimistic? 1 kg of rice costs somewhere around $2 here and you won't eat it in a day. So with $20-30 you can have a month worth amount of rice. You don't need thousands of dollars to survive.

And giving everyone $30 every month won't break even developing country economy.

1 kg of rice has 1300 calories. Not enough for most adults. And not very appetizing if that’s all you eat

How are you cooking that rice? With rainwater collected from gutters over a trash can fire? Both of which are illegal, by the way.

How are you preventing others from stealing your rice? Where are you eating it? Where are you sleeping at night?

Yes, of course you need thousands of dollars to survive. The problem is rent, not food.
