Amazing Women who cannot break the cyle of poverty


In most African countries, women are a neglected and ignored economic force.

On the contrary, women are the main economic force in Africa!

In Niger, which the United Nations classifies as the world's least developed country, starving families are eating flour mixed wild leaves and boiled plants.

Many women work hard in Niger but most of them do not have a chance to get educated. Therefore, they get married very young and they have more children than they can feed. Niger, one of the poorest countries in the world, has the highest birth-rate in the world, greatly contributing to the country's chronic food problems.

Consequently, women are poorly educated in the region with famine.

Once again Niger is facing a food crisis. How can we stop this catastrophe? Why has Niger again been let down while a famine is hitting the country?
