Please, enjoy your stay! If we have been able to send people in the moon, buid airplanes, cellphones, sophisticated boats, cars, televisions, etc .., then we must have been able to wipe poverty from the face of the earth. If we have not been able to do it up to now, it is not by lack of resources or ideas, it is simply because we have not been able to mobilize, focus and commit ourselves toward a great common goal to benefit all.   Jean Jacques M. Bukasa (Chairman/Founder)     POVERTY IN AFRICA REQUIRES URGENT INTERVENTION Between 1981 and 2001, a period of dramatic transformation in Asia and other parts of the world, the number of people living in extreme poverty in sub-Saharan Africa, nearly doubled, rising from 164 million to more than 300 million people. The year 2015 set by the UN for halving poverty in Africa was pushed back to 2147 with the view that if the trend noticed continued poverty would never be halved in Africa. (Statement by Mark Malloch Brown, UNDP Administrator) FIGHTING POVERTY REQUIRES ACTING ON ALL INTERLOCKING AND UNDERLYING CAUSES OF POVERTY  Poverty concerns income and assets but it is about much else besides. It concerns health, life expectancy, diet, shelter, education, security, access to vital resources, and other aspect of living standards. If aid is to attack deprivation, then it needs to act on all the interlocking and underlying causes. Attending to easier while ignoring others builds un-sustainability into the design of the programs at the outset. John Clark, Author of the book "Democratising development" Poor countries and poor people are trapped in poverty because they are too poor to save and invest at the same rate. (The report by the Executive Board of the UNDP and UNFP) SMALL (VILLAGE BASED) ENTERPRISES ARE THE KEY PLAYERS IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF POOR COUNTRIES Government seeking to lift their people from chronic conditions of poverty must focus on the conditions that will allow small businesses and the informal, village-based micro-enterprises to flourish. They are the key players in the development of poor countries; paying salaries, satisfying the local demand, creating jobs etc.   PEOPLE ARE AT THE CENTER OF TRUE DEVELOPMENT Development is not a commodity to be weighed or measured by GNP statistics. It is a process of change that enables people to take charge of their own destiny and realize their full potential. It requires building up in the people the confidence, skills, assets and freedoms necessary to achieve this goal.
