I work for a construction engineering company in the United States, I can build civil engineering projects and with technology programs that exist today, it’s not that complicated to build, quantify, and get costs of a public works project. If I had $100million, I could end droughts in Somalia.
the problem with the current model on humanitarian aid, is that there is no “economic value” in helping poor people. Somalia has become a place where cheap food and aid is dumped from a geopolitical game of chess.
that’s why 40 years of “aid” never created any sustainable long term solutions, the simple fact is Somalia has large aquifers and many natural resources, and droughts are a byproduct of bad leadership. And The more I learn about the problems facing Somalia, the More angry I get at the leadership for taking dignity away from our people.
In the next few months I will try to educate people on how the youth can take ownership of a “failed state” through construction/engineering. Would anyone be interested?
