One of the major issues with all the countries on that list is that they all have "servant" and "maid" systems in place already. When I was in India, for example, I noticed that most middle class people had maids and cooks from the lower classes, and it was not at all considered an elite phenomenon. As an opportunity for uplift, it seems to make sense, but one of the major flaws is that it opens the door for massive abuse, and for people exporting that abuse when they come here. The cultures of slavery seem to be closely connected to the culture of maids and cooks.

Its kind of crazy, kind of not so crazy, that outside of the US, maids and cooks in a "middle class" home is fairly common

I was at my aunts house yesterday, she has a "maid servant" as they call them there who cooks, cleans...but she is well taken care of. My aunt kind of needs it though because she is fresh off 2 heart attacks and her husband just had his hip replaced...but I've been to households before where they insist that you shouldn't even speak to the maids beyond outlining their duties....it's crazy because sometimes if an outsider comes in and says hi to them they get all flustered like they did something wrong. Sad.
