I think you're overestimating the cost of providing food in bulk. You can provide meals for very little money per meal if you're feeding many people.
Anyway, I looked into a couple programs, and they're usually more expensive than $.35 per day. Some of the children are in countries that have welfare programs, and some aren't. From what I can tell, most of them aren't orphans, or if they are, they already have people taking care of them, so you're right that there's probably another source of income, even if it's not from the government. The funds are for things like food, clean water, education, and healthcare.
