Sauri The Transformed Village (100 Words)

Sauri, Kenya is now one of the first of the 80-millennium villages across Africa. In the developing village of Sauri the income and production of the country has increased. This is due to technology and basic straightforward training programs to educate people out of poverty and the leadership of Jeffery Sachs. He wants to see if this can be replicated to many other villages in Africa. However William Easterly thinks that Mr. Sachs ideas will not work because of the failing governments in Africa. He also believes that Mr. Sachs is taking the wrong approach to ending world poverty.

Response To Poverty

Poverty is a serious world issue that is affecting billions of people all over the world. 1 billion people on the earth have to survive on less than $1 dollar every day(2005), and another 850,000,000 (2005) people go to sleep hungry. People who are involved in poverty and extreme poverty reported that these are major signs of poverty or extreme poverty are: Short of food for all or most of the year. Having to choose between feeding your siblings hunger or your own. You cant save money. You cannot send your children to school. You have no close source of water (or clean, drinkable water). These signs of poverty are followed by feelings of self-degradingness and powerlessness. Also many females that are surrounded in poverty are not protect by the government regarding sexual or physical abuse. Young children that are affected by poverty can have chronic-undernourishment which slows their growth and development. The World Bank is a organization that donates money to countries in need without charging taxes and debt. The World Bank defines extreme poverty as not having enough income to meet the most simple human necessities and requirements. Unfortunately a large amount of people are in this state of extreme poverty. Another problem people fall into is a poverty trap, or when you lose all hope because you feel a sense of failure because you are suffering from poverty and despair. Some organizations that possible could be more involved are organizations such as the red cross, they could be trying to heal people who live in a state of poverty and cant afford to heal members of their family who are sick or wounded.

This image/picture relates to my quotation: "Freedom From Tyranny" because it basically symbolizes hope for others that are suffering from tyranny. For those who are unclear about what a tyrant is, it is simply a leader or ruler of an area or nation that governs it and its people against their common good. Here is a link to a list of several tyrants and dictators that are particularly bad. Around the world millions of people are displaced and suffering because of dictatorship and tyrants a like which brings us to our topic of hope. My image above shows hope for those people being governed badly and also that perhaps one day that our world could be governed freely and fairly across the globe.
