Unbound Releases Essay Showing People, Not Foreign Dollars, As Agents Of Change In Africa
Kansas City, Kan. (PRWEB) May 22, 2015 -- Unbound, an international humanitarian organization working in 20 countries around the world has released an essay outlining progress on the continent of Africa in commemoration of Africa Day 2015.
The essay, written by Dan Pearson, Director of International Programs at Unbound, discusses many ways that African nations are progressing in terms of education, government stability and the economy.
Despite radicalization in several countries and terrorist acts, Pearson sees plenty of reasons for optimism, especially among the nearly 36 thousand children, young adults and elders served by Unbound in Africa.
Pearson explains the results of what he terms the “radically personalized approach” Unbound has implemented in Africa in contrast to traditional development efforts there. “The outcomes of these micro-programs demonstrate that poor families are capable innovators who are educating their children and creating small businesses despite great odds.”
