I would think it's a matter of information.
Me, for example, I don't get much news about what happens outside of my country, which I am solely to blame for by disinterest/inactivity.
My news-world consists mostly of my own country, and by extension the US, due to it's widely-spread representation on the internet and my favorite news pages. So if I ever felt the need to display any banners, or motivate people to fund organizations of a cause I believe in, I would probably steer them toward organizations in my country too.

I don't think anyone is trying to do anyone harm by exclusion, it's probably just the things that concern them in particular or appear in their news-bubble/are within their reach.

Totally agree that there is no intentional harm—better say it too much :)
