We
have all heard the news, several times over .... about
the acute poverty situations in Africa. We now know
conclusively, that most of this
poverty is due to lack of jobs. Here is a region of 780
million where the majority of the able-bodied adults are
underemployed or totally jobless. All they are asking
for, is an opportunity to have jobs and earn fair-wages
to take care of their children.
We can’t continue to
ignore this fact in a relatively rich world that we live
in today. Each one of us can do something small to
help put each one of the 500 million people
living on less than $1 a day, on
their feet. At ICAfrica, our mandate
is to fight poverty through removing obstacles that
prevent people from getting into employment
and participating in economic
activities.
When micro entrepreneurs and farmers receive the
proper coaching; assisted in products and markets
development; provided the right amounts of
"seed money" in the form of a
revolving micro-loans, they will grow their
ventures and create the required new jobs.
With new jobs, families
will earn fair wages, moving them out of poverty and
giving them the ability to take care of their children's needs in food,
health and education.
