Shower of Aid Brings Flood of Progress


For the last 5 years, Sauri, western Kenya has became increasingly prosperous. Sachs, the leader of the program has giving straightforward programs to lift people out of poverty, such as rotating crops, and battling malaria.

The results are glorious, but the problem is whether or not it will work globally. This is because of the Corruption of the politicians in Africa. Sachs admits this sad fact.

Sachs states that another problem is America being anti-aid, as they link poverty and terrorism. When Sachs went to Yemen, a haven for Al Qaeda, he talked to the American official about the problems in Yamen. All he got were blank answers.
