for example, if I was to self create e.g. a Mathematics workbook and send it to any random school or house in a third world country e.g Chad or Sierra Leone to help the people have better education and improve literacy etc, is it ok by law to do so.

By law it is, but ethically you'd want to send a book that's been published. What if your Math book were flawed? I doubt they'd use it unless it was something published by a well known educational publisher.
Instead of possibly wasting everyone's time and energy, including yours, why don't you find a school somewhere in the world that is poor and needs books and send them what they need rather than guessing. Find out how to do it legally and above-board; write your books and have them published and use the proceeds to send more books to the poor.

It's probably not illegal to do (though if the people you're sending it to don't want it and you keep sending it despite them asking you to stop that probably would be harassment) but probably unlikely to actually help anything.
To actually help you'd really need to target your efforts instead of just trying to carpet bomb charity.

Sure - at the least they could use it to start a fire....
