Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day, Teach a man how to fish and you will feed him for a lifetime…

With that said, Dambisa Moyo refers to the actual need of Africa. Because, Africa doesn’t need charity money from the Western World, because trust me, those billions sent to Africa almost never reach the ones who need that money the most. 
What Africa truly needs are people who don’t care about their own pockets. Strong people who want to see Africa how she truly is: Beautiful beyond description. 
Africa needs the Mandela’s, Léopold’s, Lumamba’s, Nkumrah’s, Kofi’s, Desmonds, Malcom X’s and the Martin Luther Kings of THESE times. Where are they ? Africa is calling for her kids to help.. Can’t you hear her ? 
Africa needs YOU to make sure that OUR people back home can rise again. With that said I don’t mean send more money, with that said, I mean INVEST in your own people. And you can start with cousins you have at home.. 

Senegalese proverb: Balaa ngaa dundal ña ca mbedd ma nga dundal ña ca kër ga

Meaning : Before you feed those on the street, feed those in your house. Charity begins at home

 “If anyone does not provide for his relatives, and especially for his immediate family, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever.” 1 Timothy 5:8 NIV
