As you probably already know, it's possible to outsource work to very skilled people for not a lot of money. A fulltime (40 hours per week) worker from a service like Your Outsourcing Solution will only run you about $500 per month and that includes a Canadian-based concierge to handle everything for you.
Why so little? Your money goes a long way overseas.
With that said, here is something you may be interested in...
Kiva.org is a non-profit that allows you to make a small 0% loan to low income entrepreneurs in the developing world. Individuals like you can help provide affordable working capital for the poor -- money to buy a sewing machine, livestock, etc. -- and empower them to earn their way out of poverty.
By choosing a business on Kiva.org, you can "sponsor a business." Throughout the course of the loan (usually 6-12 months), you can receive email journal updates from the business you've sponsored. As loans are repaid, you get your loan money back.
A good return on $25, if you ask me...
