The IMF and the Euro: why?

The IMF is a major international body created to help the developing world and bringing the most disadvantaged and poorest people in the world out of poverty. It is there to help the starving feed themselves, go stop the poorest people on the planet being poisoned by beat up polluting industry. 

The IMF was created to help improve the Third World. 

OK it may not be very good at this but that is its laudable aim. 

In light of this how is it possible that the IMF is funnelling tens of billions of $'s away from the Third World and squandering it on the untenable mission of supporting the failing Euro?  Three of the Euro states are in the top seven most advanced and richest countries in the world. How can these same affluent states be allowed to take money away from the starving?

Politics and power really is obscene sometimes.
