There are many children, particularly in the rural and suburbs, who are deprived of basic living resources. There are frightening statistics out there that reveal the scary fact that Africa’s future is bleaker if nothing is done urgently.
For instance, half of the continent’s population is children, up to 20% of which are disabled. Sad, isn’t it?
Wait for it. A growing number of children are becoming stunted because of malnutrition. This has become a serious problem as it affects the brain also. A well-developed brain is critical to decision making, problem-solving, original thinking that produces quality output for socioeconomic development.
In Africa, malaria is killing an average of 3,000 children daily, which translates to about one child dying every 30 seconds. This is expected to rise, as Africa has no plan for its own redemption.
By 2050, the continent’s population is expected to double. To fix the problem of infrastructure Africa needs about $30 trillion. While this is a herculean task, the little resources are being wasted by leaders through wars, health tourism, flamboyant living home and abroad, amongst other evils. There is overpopulation staring us in the face in the near future. And that future is almost upon us.
A plan for redemption is underway for Africa as Poverty Must Die, a pan African establishment is set to turn the sad story into that of success. It is a novel trans-African initiative set to tackle the problems of health, education, malnutrition, and others through massive investment in research, science, and technology. It is also partnering with the private sector players through the PMD charity foundation to subsidize access to critical sectors for the underprivileged.
Local producers would have their market enhanced by trading on UFEDO, the organization’s e-commerce platform. There are incentives that would help consumers buy more and live above the poverty line. This same e-commerce generates 30% funding for the charity work and subsidy that PMD would be undertaking.
It is planned that with the above initiatives, about 50 – 100 million Africans would be taken out of poverty every five years. We, therefore, invite you to join us for the liberation of Africa. Together we can do it!
