It’s all just matter my friend. Christianity gives humans a transcendent value because only they were created in the image of their creator.
As far as you describe it, the "transcendent value" of a human is to have the same right to existence as a computer or a mountain or a planet.

This is just an example of your god treating his objects the way he feels like. You can only be upset by it if you think he's being cruel or neglectful.
Not only is it blatantly untrue that only Christians are doing something about it, it's arguable that Christians are doing very much that's useful about it, and regardless, Africa is a hellhole in large part because of what Christians did to it for 400 years.
