Rigged rules and diminished progress: the failure of globalisation The free market solution to world poverty has failed, so countries should be allowed self-determination in their economic policies. The current religion among much of the economics community is that “openness” to international trade is the best -indeed the only- route out of poverty for the world’s poor countries. This chorus echoing the wondrous ability of free trade globalisation to reduce the obscene levels of poverty in the world today has been backed up by the dominant powers that shape the global economy -institutions like the International Monetary Fund, the World Bank and the OECD, and powerful rich country governments in North America and Europe. And yet, the past twenty five years have seen unprecedented levels of rapid economic “liberalisation” on every continent, and at the end of this period half the world still lives on less than two dollars a day and 800 million people are still chronically undernourished.

Since its founding, Africare has delivered well over $800 million in assistance - over 2,500 projects - to 36 countries Africa-wide.
AMREF USA "AMREF has been saving lives year after year for decades, and should give us all hope that even the most complex health challenges can be overcome." - Bill Gates For more than 50 years, the African Medical & Research Foundation (AMREF) has worked with African communities in over 30 countries including Kenya, Uganda and South Sudan to break the vicious cycle of poor health and poverty. Africa-based, we are the largest health development organization on the continent, creating lasting, locally-run health services for millions of people. In our work, we champion the most vulnerable populations, with a special focus on women and children, and the most critical health issues facing Africa today: HIV/AIDS and TB, malaria, family and reproductive health, clean water and sanitation, training health workers, and clinical and surgical outreach.

Hawa Abdi Hawa Abdi There are few things in the world more depressing than the knowledge that a 65 year-old Somali gynecologist has bigger balls than you could ever hope to achieve even if you gave yourself steroid collagen injections to the scrotum every night and set up an induction port that allowed you to inflate them with an air pump like a basketball or those high-top sneakers from the early 90s. Meet Hawa Abdi. A woman who has never raised her fist in anger against another human being, but also one who could perform three C-sections on dirt-poor women, wash her hands, then go straight outside, stare down an army of gun-toting hardcore fanatical Somali militiamen, and with four words send them running for their lives on a light-speed rainbow of shame and self-loathing without even fucking blinking. A woman once appropriately described once as "one part Mother Teresa, one part Rambo."
