Challenges

How come we can't solve this issue? I mean, with the countless people, organizations, countries helping this issue- how come it isn't solved? For one, some organizations take the wrong approach. They attack the issue for individuals and not for the whole of them. Even if we can bring one person or family, or even community out of poverty, they will just fall right back into it in a matter of time because of the environment factor. I don't mean the plants and trees type of environment, no, I mean their surroundings. You see, solving the poverty issue in Africa, is different than solving the same issue in, say, Canada or USA. In Canada, the 'individual' approach would work. That is, because those people, once given help, can jump into an economy which is already steadily thriving. In Africa, once they're 'helped', there is a slim chance of them staying like that because there is no economy for them to go to. Another challenge would be how far behind Africa is in the global economy and how there are few jobs available to the native Africans that even remotely compare to the opportunities of those countries around them. Also, most people who help this situations, don't necessarily work to solving the issue, but rather work as a coping mechanism to the people in Africa. So, as you can see, the people helping Africa's poverty situation are on the wrong track! Instead of helping to eliminate the issue, we just help them cope with living in poverty, or take individuals out of poverty just for them to fall right back into it!
