    Article that was written in response to Jeffrey Sachs "The End of Poverty". This article, like that of Easterly's, states that what is needed is a new model of poverty solution, His suggestion is that government's role should not be of manager or director of change, but rather just a catalyst for change. Also the author believes there needs to be a focus on farming, and incentives, loans, and tax breaks to help build rural areas.

    A video that criticizes the G8's debt relief because even though it tells the people that their debt will be cancelled, they then tell them how and when they can invest their money, rather than allowing the people to make their own decisions.

    Article that criticizes specifically Bob Geldof, Bono, Tony Blair, and others behind the Group of Eight, but more broadely all westerners who believe that those in Africa need a savior, that its the White Man's Burden, to help those in need, and that we have the right answers and they can't make smart choices for themselves.

      This video gives shocking footage of how poverty also leads to epidemic and world wide spread of diseases. Poverty is linked not to just starvation, but to disease. Pay attention to how all of them use the same needle to medicate themselves.

In addition, it show the testing average broken down by racial demographics and the graduation rate broken down by racial demographics.

    Although this is a very short article it touches on the fact that child abuse is related to poverty and teenage/child prostitution.  If a child is working as a prostitute then he/she obviously does not have time for a formal education!

    The same reason that these people are leaving Zimbabwe--the political and economic situation--is probably the reason, or at least related to the reason that African healthcare professionals are leaving their countries.

    Oil (and other minerals) are affecting the economic situation of African countries. Companies are getting rich, but the people are poor. Poverty is undoubtedly a cause fore the lack of healthcare access in Africa. Some solutions are offered in this article to put some of the money made from the oil back into the hands of the people that live there.

    The economic situation is affecting healthcare in Zimbabwe. Food prices are going up, making it harder for mothers to provide good nutrition for their children. There are not enough funds for supplies and personnel, and doctors and nurses cannot be paid fair wages.
