Hmm, I am not sure about the poverty part entirely. My maid is from Manilla, has a 5 bedroom house in the city and has 4 kids in university. Her husband drives a taxi in the Philippines and she still told me she has money to spare so she was going to Hong Kong on vacation on her way back home.
It is the relative costs of living. Tuition for university for my maids kids is 6000 pesos a semester, which is about QR 463. Tuition back home will run you around $7000.
