Working with Africa Differently
Sub-Saharan Africa encompasses some of the poorest countries in the world, stuck in the underdevelopment of "The Bottom Billion". In America, the commonest images tend to be of tear stained children, emaciated mothers and refugees, ravaged by famine, conflict and disease. Thanks to this image, Africa has for too long projected an image of poverty and dependence.
In reality despite real difficulties and deep problems there are many signs of energy and enterprise. "Working with Africa Differently" aims to counter the negative images and promote partnerships that are both promising and productive.
Four Princeton based organizations are combining to reach a wider public with news and information about their development activities in Africa.
