POVERTY IN AFRICA

Poverty in Africa refers to the lack of basic human needs. African nations typically fall towards the bottom of any list measuring small size economic activity such as income per capita or GDP per capita despite the wealth of natural resources. Why are we still poor though? because we allow people to secure their self interests first. We allow them to explore our natural resources. Our fore fathers I would say failed us. They did not hold our own interests at heart and this has allowed the western countries to exploit us making us more poor. Our leaders too do not hold our interests at heart because they are greedy too and they misuse funds and mismanage land. We should all help eradicate diseases and poverty because change begins with us and we are Africa not because we are Africans but because Africa was born in us!
