I just think common sense answers this question.  You've given him $400 and he's paid back $20.  Why in the world would you give him more until he's paid back at least $300?

So it seems all agree that I should stop buying things for him. That makes sense. I will tell him I can't buy him things anymore. I added up the amount I gave him. On buying things it was about 250 dollars plus the cost of food and water I bring him once a week, probably at least 150 dollars more. Sometimes he asks for weird things. The last things I bought him were a half a gallon of soap for 37 dollars and beeswax candles for 20 dollars.

I want to keep bringing him food once a week but I will no longer buy him things.

He really is poor, sometimes his family only has rice to eat, but other than the food he does not need the things I buy him.

Good, then only buy him food, or give the food with the other members of his family as witnesses.
Does your friend have a job, if so teach him to spend his money wisely. If no job, then help him find a job.
