The selection process is usually along the lines of 'the poorest of the poor'. Organizations such as this identify an area or ethnic group, then a village, then a family. The recipients are selected, then approached, in such a way that minimizes self selection. The idea is to bring a poor family up to the standard of their slightly less poor neighbours. Then the village up to the standard of other villages. then the province. etc.
I personally dont see the invited comparison, at least not directly in the title, given the context of a 'Global Impact' article. This could be simply my lens, and yours. I work in development field (mostly cambodia), so i automatically apply it to what i see here. You seem more involved with the situation in US(?) an rightly say that it would not apply in the same way.
