asistencialismo: charity
On proz I found cult of dependency, and welfarism - neither are quite it, and I don't think would be well understood by most English speaking audiences. Charity will work in most contexts I think, though you may have to add charity attitude or mentality, etc.. Really, it's more like "hand-out-ism" - but I can't quite imagine that will catch on!
