OUR solution
USE OF innovation and technology TO fight POVERTY
USE OF innovation and technology TO fight POVERTY
Short-term humanitarian aid to help poor people is usually not enough to lift them out of the cycle of poverty. Poverty alleviation is a long-term strategy that should lead to self-reliance and sustainability. Technology and innovation are the best weapons to fight poverty and break the cycle of individual and societal poverty in Africa. Africa's backwardness or poverty is somehow attributed to shortage of better skilled workforce in the STEM fields in the continent.
