Jeffery Sachs Article Summary


In Sauri, J.Sachs has helped people improve their lives by teaching them simple things like breeding catfish and harvesting honey. Sachs also introduced some technology based programs to improve health, education and communication. Also teaching crop rotation and working against malaria -a disease that kills over 1million children a year- with an SMS program and bed nets.All of this had great results and lifted people out of poverty. People now want to know if Sauri's success can be replicated and help other countries. Sachs believes that poverty may be linked to terrorism and if people were aware of all the obstacles and government corruption it could end 1/3 of the problem.
