The effort of our solution to this problem will help to reduce corruption in the mist of young Africans and also build them for future leaders. The youth’s unemployment and livelihood problem are particularly acute and growing in Africa because no one is paying attention to it but yet a large number of Africans youth simply wish to live a responsible life.

Hence, there is no doubt that this project is to be embraced by young Africans and individuals that know the mayhem of corruption in our in Africa.

“READY?” POEM BY HIWOT SCHULTE FROM ETHIOPIA, LIVING IN GERMANY

Ready ?

see ,know and hear it everyday
when I get the News from the Birds
while listening to the information from the Water 
while talking to the ants about the underground,
and they are referring to the universe,
I go to hug the next tree ,as long they are still around.
Arms tight around the tree trunk & tribe ,our veins connect,roots to Her .
United with Mother Earth ,she tells me what to do
,how to stay strong and recharges me with love and creativity,
to make sure I do my pArt and support the family .
The Brothers and Sisters that can not find the way home
look the same way,
like those,
who did not come from this Place .
I have to go,
to do my pArt and work for those,
that are in deep connection and in Love
with Mother eARTh .
