QUOTE
The major or
fundamental problem facing Africa today is poverty. What we forget is that poverty is the result
of a dysfunctional state of affairs in any given community. It is not a
disease that you cure just by administering medication. So what
Songhai is all about is a new and bold attempt to tackle the problem of
poverty and marginalization by creating an empowering environment so that
people can be put on the driver’s seat and become stakeholders in a common
project of a viable society. We believe that the only effective way to fight
poverty is to help the poor to become productive.
