ELI5: Coming from the Philippines, how does a welfare state like Sweden work and how is it that third world countries like us can't do the same?

Lots of countries, including the Philippines, do have welfare and social service programs but ensuring access and distribution is always problematic. Graft and corruption are usually the biggest barrier, but another major issue is simply a lack of civic education. 
The people who most need welfare are also the most likely to not know their rights, how to apply for these programs, or even that these programs exist.
