Keeping Africa Small Premiere

[tgondo]

The film shows beyond doubt the intelligence and capability of Ghanians to sort their own lives out, the film makes it seem perfectly clear, they know exactly what they need-industry, just like Europe only attained prosperity through industrial growth so will Africa, and then tehy can take care of their own basic and luxury needs.why pay the wages of NGOs to fly out to africa, pity the poor and then not listen to them because they are so fuelled by their own agenda. brilliant film!!

The reality is most NGOs are miles away from understanding those very people they are trying to work for. This clip highlights this only too well.

What is wrong in investing in more meaningful projects? Give Africans what they really want not what the west wants because you might as well stop this game.

How can the NGOs pretend to improve the developing countries conditions without understand their needs before?

It is every ones right to have the minimum standard of life!!! Its a shame for NGO's that there are still so many poeple in Africa living without any clean water and electricity...

WORLDwrite is, as usual opening our eyes to the REAL problems in the developing countries. What the people really want, not what the NGO's etc. want us to believe. Keep up the great work.

[RacFos]

WORLDwrite is doing a great service for developing countries. NGO's like "oxfam" have been insulting the third world for too long. Why anyone in their right mind would think that what someone in the devloping world wants is a pile of dung is beyond me. No-one likes living in squalor, they do not do it out of choice but out of desperation. We need more organisations like WORLDwrite and then maybe we will see some real and practical developments in the thirld world.

I know the NGOs and charity groups can probably help in some situations - but they need to listen to local people, groups and organisations, and give control of decisions and plans to them. How patronising to think it's laughable that people in Africa (or elsewhere) might like luxuries. How demeaning to ask someone to cry just so you can drum up donations.

This film makes us understand that Africans are not after only their fulfilment of basic needs rather, they want to improve their life styles. But it seems NGO`s and aid agencies are diktating what they think Africans should aim for now and in future. They do not see that Africans want to live as westerners do.

the people that can make a difference need to start thinking about what these people NEED

[ddball1]

The principles of good economic management work as well in westernized nations as in developing ones. Limiting wealth does not achieve equity, unless everyone is to be poor. Great wealth attracts substantial investment and promotes growth, allowing the poorest to improve their lifestyle.

AMEN!
