- I will never forget what I saw in Burundi!
We are in Burundi, which has been the poorest country in the world almost every year for the last 62 years, according to the World Bank, IMF and many other official institutions. Burundi has a population of approximately 12.5 million people and the average monthly income of a working citizen is around $15 there. One out of every 3 citizen is unemployed. Welcome to the world's poorest country.

I can't sleep well when I'm thinking about my country Burundi " I think the situation is worse than than this video. I will do whatever it takes to help people in my country.
When I saw some kids how they struggle I feel like crying 😢, my God give me a power🙏
May God bless you and your people. Better days will come!
sounds like you got out just in time lol sheesh
Jesus please be with the children and youth and elders and mothers fathers and people of Burundi, Jesus please be with the animals of Burundi, and every living thing that walks, scoot,craw, and bike those roads 😢
Jesus I pray the people are blessed by your words. Amen
These countries leaders would see to it that the citizens wouldn’t get one penny
What is the goverment doing 😮
I wish I was a millionaire so I could go buy every person enough food for a month. It wouldn't be hard for a jeff bezos. I wish millionaires did these acts of kindness personally..
Definitely
though it's very noble of you , it's not a very good idea.
you see.. if you buy each and every one of these people the equivalent of what YOU eat in a day, they'll die. their bodies are conditioned for starvation because they've been living this reality for so long.
they have conditioned their lives to eat just the bare minimum amount of food need for survival, and for most of them that's how it's gonna be for the rest of their lives unfortunately.
@@chippilastelko wouldn’t they have to increase what they eat slowly ?
@@chippilastelko and than there fine?
@@saucyx4 yes they would have to do it slowly
I am from Burundi 🇧🇮 and I can conform that the majority of the population live like that but they are happy people. They cherish every little thing they have. I am Privileged I was born in a first class family and i have never known any of that life. my parents sent me to canada for studies and i just got a permanent residency status. I pray that one day I can use the knowledge acquired and the opportunity i got to be a Canadian to make a change in my country and help people get a better life. 👏🏾
I hope you can achieve your goal !
Beautiful 🧡
They are not at all so stop it
@@Moellmoell Proof?
Stop this fake ass positivity, they are poor unhappy struggling to survive. They can't afford 2 meals per day and you say they are happy. Bullshit.
Born in hardship.
Lived in hardship.
Died in hardship.
Some of us just don't know how privileged we are.
Amen!
Bro that’s facts
That's for sure.
Hardship is pretty subjective term..
I'm a Filipino and I came from a poor family also but seeing this situation made me realized that there's a lot of people struggling in life more than my family do, so always appreciate and be greatful for what we have. I hope one day these people will have a better life.
over proud pinoy
same here
@@guagglemeggle63bruh he just stated his a Filipino what are you on about
Filipinos are much better you have the connection to 5 g these people don't have cellphones and electricity
@@Ajaosjsbsnm.ama12 I think you're missing the point. There are poor people in pH that don't have cellphone and even starve. But yeah these people are on another level
I'm so ashamed that I have thought my life is bad because my family is a lot poorer than others in my country (Sweden), but after watching this, I'm extremely greatful for the life I have. My life is like heaven for hundreds of millions of people.
Duckdad you right I feel the same way, but horrified that the country of Burundi is poor because the powers that shouldn’t be like America and her European sisters spend a good amount of their budget on military stuff, not for war but to keep Mother Africa poor, and millions of people die just so we can be extremely grateful for the life we have, compared to Mother Africa citizens and Black people all over the world every other ethnic group have not experienced what Black people have had and still do suffer still today, Mother Africa is blessed, she has never started a war or invaded another country, and people marvel how nice and joyful they are in the mist of dire poverty, hunger will make you steal and for America and her friends for material gain, have lied killed and destroy the the lives of African women children and babies just so the elite of the world can be billionaires while the middle man American politicians not only enjoy the stolen wealth but get up every morning to go to the office to make sure the thievery doesn’t end and it’s very easy because it’s Black people. So while I am humbly praying for the change which will happen justice will prevail I am most grateful to Mother Africa and her citizens for the sacrifice of their very lives for the lives of others, Thank You and shalom
Grateful*

This is so heartbreaking. This makes me realise how good a life we are living. Never complain what we have and live happily
Fake news lol the the poorest places in Burundi lol
OMG POOR KIDS i have only one and i find that hard what would i do if i has 8 it not right to have this many kids if you cant mind them feed them
Yeah, they talk about poverty happening there in those countries but it can be the same situation in Australia, 🇦🇺 England, 🏴 and America 🇺🇸 as well. Believe what you want there is poverty and hardships everywhere.
Very true 💯
Nah everyone got their own problems, u can complain all you want even if theres someone in a worse situation than you
I am from Czech Republic. People always complain about their lives here all the time. How poor we are, how government doesnt take care about us. But we are earning like 2000 dollars a month approximately. But we have the most expensive smart phones, houses, cars etc. I shed a lot of tears when I saw this video. We are so rich that we don't even know how really poor people can live a happy life. More happy than we do. This is the saddest thing i have seen in years. I am praying for you (even though i am an atheist.) Good luck.
That was Beautifully Written.
The way you ended with "I'm an atheist, but I'll pray for you" that made me cry. I'm not here to push my beliefs on ANYONE!! But something about that was so pure. I hope you give it second chance one day. Much love ❤ 🫂
Maybe happiness isn't about what you have... things may give comfort and pride but not necessarily happiness
Lol @@meaganr9201
@@meaganr9201 Thank you. Have a beautiful day 🙂
I currently live in Burundi,born there,this is all true, i'm one of the privileged to born in town, imagine in these Times of covid i graduated in 2018 with a baccalor's degree in ICT and Still no job and hustle to make just a living like anybody else you see here in this documentary ,because i educated myself due to the internet access i'm sure to have most pertinent information than 95% of the country,i taught myself english that sometimes i Ask myself why i had to born in this country rather than hundreds of other poor countries which are not the poorest because i Saw the different lifestyles that people has in most of the countries in the World but After all i consider myself lucky to have the information, at least i Can dream of a better day, many here dont even know what's happening or happened 200km from where they live for their whole life.remember,be thankful for everything you have whoever sees this.
You are an amazing and determined human being. I'm so proud of what you have done for yourself. Please never stop trying.
Wavukiye muri ville, lucky you brother. So it's a privilege to be born in Bujumbura, come on brother those who made it were born in the rural areas like those little kids. And a diploma or degree in Africa means nothing if you are staying home and doing nothing. You go to school to gain knowledge, so that you can use it in your life of every day. If you don't get the job you went to school for, do you have to stay home and do nothing? These people in the video were not privileged to go to school like you but they have got more work and life experience than you. The day you start understanding that life is not what you want or what you were trained for then things will change in your favour. Your problem is those words "privileged to be born in town", just because you were born in town does not mean that you can not settle for less like those not privileged to be born in "TOWN". YOU HAVE TO START SOMEWHERE TO GET SOMEWHERE. Today you are sitting home waiting to get employed, why don't you go to your parents land and farm while waiting, use your knowledge. Search on the Internet for work in the East Africa Community. That document it's just a piece of paper, you need work experience. You might be between 30 to 35 years and you haven't worked in your life and expect work to come your way just like that. You have never worked under pressure, to put food on the table of your family.
Do same youtube about your country,, ,just try , maybe who know? God Bless💛💛💛💛
Don’t worry bro .one day you will succeed In your life.love from 🇮🇳
@@Unclekcy i was born in Gitega,and the fact that i studied was not to mean that i've never worked,i said that i have to hustle in a way that i shouldn't, considering the Time i spent to school many of my age who didn't go to school are doing good far more better because they invested the same Time in a practical way of making a living,i realise this everyday,and by the way i want to mention to you that i have my own family that i have to take Care of.
As a kenyan I used to think I was poor but after watching this I have learn to appreciate what I have. My Burundi brothers,one day things will be better.
Where are you from Burundi??
@@userenter8591 I am not from Burundi. I am from Kenya.
That won't fix anything..sorry but the only logical solution is HAVE 1 KID ONLY GODDAMMIT!! SIMPLE MATH!! IF I HAVE 21$ AND HAVE TO ➗ IT BY 3..THATS 7 PER PERSON..NOW ➗ 10!!! THAT GUY HAS 8 KIDS..HE CREATED AND ADDED TO THE PROBLEM..WHY DO WHITE NATIONS HAVE 2 KIDS ON AVERAGE?
Why are they sooo poor.
If you were poor, it would not be possible for you to even watch this
As someone who grew up in London I realise I have been very ungrateful. I’m not rich here and have found myself envious of the people I see driving Lamborghinis and and carrying designer handbags. I’ve complained and overreacted about small inconveniences. This video made me realise how grateful I should be for having a warm house, hot water, enough food and plenty of job opportunities. My heart goes out to these people.
as Indonesian, I thought the poverty in my country is the worst, corruption is a big enemy for people's wealth for a country, but after I watch this, I'm very grateful to live here.... but I admire Burundi's people, that have big heart and still smile although the condition is not good as we thought . God bless Burundi, and hope this country will get better soon and rise quickly like Rwanda
Well, let's not do anything to end corruption in X country. In any case, there are countries that are worse. lfmao
Same as an Indian, i thought my life is hard.
I am proud of being Burundian. Though life is too hard I hope one day it will change because we youths are working hard to Change our country Picture in the sights of the world.
keep that spirit you have to fight and work hard and i hope things get better for your nation god bless you !
Why in a CONTINENT that holds the resources that the WORLD EXPLOITS are these people living like this? BECAUSE AFRICANS CAN’T UNITE.. That’s why..
God willing my there shall be chqnges
This world is messed up noone should have to live like that. Kids starving to death. A few rich could change ur whole country but thats just hopes and dreams. Im sorry .
But how you using UA-cam with a brick phone bruh
This is heartbreaking. To see the kids enjoy their lives, playing with something as simple as a plastic bottle car… and to see some of the adults be happy regardless of their situation, makes you think twice about not being grateful for the what you have in your own life. Be grateful.
And I know so many that are very rich and miserable as can be!
To the billionaires out there!!!
Do you see this??? 😪
The less you have the more grateful you are for what you do have.

This is so sad. The amount of children these people have is unimaginable in normal circumstances. God bless them and thank God for everything❤
That's what I'm noticing. Poverty by yourself is challenging. Poverty with a half dozen kids just breaks your spirit and perpetuates the cycle.
If only contraception was available 😔
Can I blame god for anything.
These people are so strong. Mentally, emotionally, and physically. The average American wouldn’t last a day in these conditions. Praying for this country 🙏🏽
If you replaced these people with the average American and Americans with these people America would collapse and this country would be one of the fastest developing countries for proof look at the us and Liberia look at white areas in the us and black areas in the us like Compton
The average American would survive and build up their economy just like we’ve done over here.
@@kariana510 pahahaha one avg american can build economy ? funny.
@@kariana510 nah sorry not usa of today they are so fragile
Praying will not achieve anything. Only practical help will. I'm afraid I did not see any evidence whatsoever of "mental and emotional strength" in controlling procreation.
Bless these people. Even living in circumstances that seem unimaginable to most of us, I saw so many genuine smiles and warm hospitality. I hope they see better days ❤

becaause we dont need much. they shouldnt be starving and they are. the world has more than enough food and the ability to farm should be something we actively, as a world, push to spread the information of. we've cracked that code and i just hate that everyone cant at least have all the food they need. its absolutely ridiculous
@@jesusislord6545 Please let's not involve religious bullshit. If god really existed poor terrible life conditions like these would not exist.

There have been several wells drilled and functioning over recent years and that made me happy. The areas that have access to fresh water have seen immense improvements in health and happiness and brain power! The well drilling will continue until all areas of Burundi have access to fresh water, thanks to UNICEF and other organizations and individuals. This water thing is HUGE for the entire country. It’s a good start.
I grew up in Burundi for over 17 years and during all these years my dad only had an actual job for 6 months and that was back in 2008, after he lost his job we were still able to live an average life like Paying rent, eating 3 meals a day and many more. I’m grateful for all the memories that I had with my country and there are all good ones. Now I live in Pennsylvania and I’ve been here for 3 years. Some Americans always complain about some small stuff but based on what I’ve been through I see everything here as a child play
Well I’m planning to go back and hold a banquet with my people in like 3 to 4 years
If you’re coming with me just let me know
So... Im an African American.... and listening to how the colonizers came over, took over, converted everyones faith, and then banished them to eternal poverty is quite disheartening... Serious question: why do the people so willingly accept this...with basically nothing to lose, why havent the people stormed the capital, rioted, burned shit down?? (Please forgive me if I've said anything ignorant, just trying to understand)
@@jimmijones443 during colonization people fought back and lost. Kings were killed and many lives was taken and after colonization people suffered from poverty and wars so they didn’t have time to recover from any of this and as for today they have no choice other leave the situation the way it is or more like they can’t do anything about it
The government is corrupt
@@jimmijones443 because the colonizers are gone, is there no education in America? Do you truly think that the colonizers are still here? Please read a book. We run our countries we elect corrupt officials, you Americans want to blame the white man when you are the cause of your misfortune. Grow up, you are not African you are American. You are not from Africa. Your ancestors were, you are not. I am African, my brother is studying in America if he stays HE will be African American.
coming with u
The difference is you Burundians respect nature and use limited resources and still happy.. On the other hand exploiters(Europeans) and Americans kill nature and waste the resources and still not happy
When I watch this I can only feel grateful for everything I have,even the smallest thing.The sad part is that the kids are always the main victims.
Your feelings aren't helping those people
@MRbubblegunner and you commenting that isn’t helping either. so, be quiet.
PLEASE LISTEN..
It doesn't matter if you are some famous, rich movie star or one of these poor kids in Africa. The human race is born into this world with a deadly disease. Every man/woman is sick with a terminal disease. The disease is SIN. What is sin? The transgression of Gods law. Sin is any failure to conform to the moral law of God in act, attitude, or nature. We are all conceived in sin and born in sin. No matter who you are, you cannot escape the reality of your condition. What is the proof of our condition? Death. Death is the great equalizer. "for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return." Genesis 3:19 The wages of sin is death. The soul that sins shall die.
What is the cure for our terminal disease? We all have one disease and there is only one solution. The solution is outside of ourselves. We need another life; a sinless life. The son of God came into the world to give his sinless, spotless life as a ransom to all that believe on his name. The son of God came into the world in the likeness of sinful flesh to live a perfect life as a substitute for all believers, bore the sin of all believers, absorbed the holy wrath of God for all believers and died. On the third day, the sinless Lord of Life abolished death and brought life and immorality to light through the gospel.
What must we do to be saved? Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and you shall be saved 🙏.
Wait here in America we complain about pronouns and fake racism, these woke morons in the US should be forced to live like this to see actual oppression
Yeah, these always help me to stay humble and help others especially those in need. Like religion but physical and actually doing something about it.
After this i will stop complaining about my life.
Amen

They smile with enjoying the nice things in their life, while they got hard working life for their whole life, when they so insanely poor to compared to any european or american for example.
Happiness is relative
Being so poor I think not having access to internet is a good thing and bad thing. Good because you will not compare your life with others whom is much more well off but bad because you might not get the knowledge to demand things change from government.
Americans are spoiled
My friend, there will always be those who are in this situation as long as your state and colonial states such as European countries exist. In order for you to live in such prosperity, other people have to suffer as well. If you had pity for these people, you would stop exploiting.
Before I watched this video I’ve always complained why my life is so depress. However after watched this video my thought is changed completely. I became to appreciate about what I have. Also I became know that I’m happy to enough. I always appreciate you making cherish and amazing videos. I hope that one day Burundi will be prosper. From S Korea🇰🇷🇧🇮
This was extremely difficult to watch. Thank you for sharing
I used to live I Burundi since 2007-2014 and I remember those were the happiest moments of my life,I grew up there till I was 7 and I had a lot of friends,yeah it might’ve been the poorest country but the people were also very happy and thankful for what they had and for their families. I had everything I needed and I thank god for that but it’s not as miserable as they make it seem,yeah it has it’s down sides but also it’s up sides,I also loved how the community came together,it could be to share their happiness or to help one another but they still came together,and I am so thankful for the people who helped raise me to be the girl I am today.Thank You Burundi♥️!

I grew up poor in the USA. I would watch stuff like this on TV and my mom would tell me stories about being poor in El Salvador, so I always had a great appreciation of what I had here in the US. Even if I was poor here, I was still way better off than poor in some other country.
Grew up poor in the states. My whole family got deported back to Mexico. I wish I was more grateful for what I had in the states.
ur mom is great😊
I grew up in Switzerland, where there are no real poor. I moved to the USA with no country, I lived very poor, I made $ 190 a week in New York City, but like you said, that was not poverty compared to this. My Wife is from the Philippines, she comes from poor background I thought it was really bad, but I was in the MIlitary in Africa in the early 80ties, I was in Cameroon, Sierra Leone, Tanzania, Mozambique, SA, Namibia, Nigeria , Rwanda, but Burundi seems to beat it all.
I visited El Salvador my freshman year of college. It was so eye opening. I felt so ungrateful and selfish for not appreciating what I have in America. It changed me as a person.
You should see how ungrateful some people in Finland are. 1500€ free money from the state per month and free housing and free healthcare even if u get cancer you get free 200 000 € treatment yet they still complain their life sucks and they won't get a job and drink alcohol all day everyday because state pays good. Unbelievable folks some are
It is insane to look at the generational effect of their colonisation by Germany then Belgium and they were educated to believe Belgium was their ‘tutor’ and feel grateful for the scraps they are given. It’s absolutely heartbreaking and disgusting to watch. They seem to be a beautiful and heartwarming people.
I think the people who live in Burundi are very powerful and I want to say thank you even though the poor condition you are able to live with your family in there I am always proud of you for this
They 've earned 5-10 dollars a month. While we spend that much just for a morning coffee in a day. Sometimes we forgot how fortunate we are. Bless these people. :(

When the farmer father said he lost 2 children to starvation that broke me. So much food is thrown away here in USA and other countries. Why can’t we give them rice and wheat and just food. This world should never be without food for anyone.
Corrupt local government keeps it all. The US gives billions in aid to Africa.
Because businesses exist to make money so know one could even if they wanted to. Imagine the costs and logistics in collecting food from the US, keeping it fresh, transporting it, running an office ect ect.
This is why the love of money is the root of all evil. No one cares enough to do anything unless they get paid.
Blame it to World Bank and IMF
@@gm2655 very very true 👍, that's is what really called "debt trap " if they really want to help ,they should have a condition that money ( loan ) only for education ,schools etc and another loan for helping the economy ,and has to monitor it .coz most of the money will disappear at no time .or assisting it by building it just like China . Can't just lend them with cash .other wise you won't see any infrastructure, school etc being built .if they really intended to help ,unless they have different agendas.
@Yorkshire Pudding yes ,I used to work in logistic Co. We threw thousands of merchandise in the bin to be crushed coz customer complained as defective. Can't give it away ,afraid something happened and get sued for it .SO it is easier to chuck it and let the Insurance deal with it .
I wish I could donate money directly to as many people there as possible. What a reality check..
I am from Sri Lanka and I feel very pity for these people despite the fact that my country also heading to this direction due to corruption and mismanagement. However, these people and us both have all the resources to build the nation, but what we do not have is leadership!!
This world is unbelievable, unfair, and amazing at the same time.
Whoever read this, please be happy with what you have! You have a life that millions are dreaming to have!!!
Years ago i had a client from Sri Lanka. I have followed the troubles their with great sadness, always praying it will improve.
So is usa
education is the key.
I just looked up, and realized that Sri Lanka's GDP per capita is 20x of Burundi. Still miles better. The term "third world country" makes us think that these countries are all the same, while in reality some are clearly better off than the others.
But it's still true that Sri Lanka is in a bleak financial situation. I pray for my brothers and sisters there that things improve soon. (I'm from Japan by the way, but our economy isn't looking too good either. I guess we're all in this together.)
You have made a mistake when you said not fair, God is fair, and life is the life of the hereafter, and God will equalize the believers in Paradise and compensate those who were poor in this world.
Omg! We are living in same sky but different situations.it's very sad to see those people 😢😢 god bless them all.
I am very impressed by your videos. Thank you for education me on this part of Africa.
I lived in Burundi for 2 years and a half working as a humanitarian worker. I learned a lot with the people of Burundi, met a lot of nice people there and I am grateful for that.

Heartbreaking....
I've seen poverty for myself in Africa and cried then and when i think about it now...
Yet the poorest people I met were all making the most of their miserable lives, smiling, joking, helping one another, children playing with bottle tops....and happy to have that. It is such a lesson for those who have everything. We have to do what we can to help.
These people are very humble. I used to work with a man who was from Burundi; great guy and hard working.
This really puts it into perspective how so many of us have it so good. I’m not old at all but growing up for me I always thought I we were poor or struggling but damn makes me feel like so bad that I even thought that see how many people are struggling in Burundi. I can never complain about living in a first world country again after seeing this. I’m so grateful that my grandparents took the chance to move to Canada and pretty much gave me the opportunity to be whatever I want to be.
Agreed, I don't even live in a rich country but still I never had to struggle for basic needs, I am grateful

Go watch this video:
A video of a public lecture given by Prof Howard Nicholas, economist at the Internationl Institute of Social Studies at the Hague has been doing the rounds on social media. However, most people see a few seconds clip where Prof Nicholas says:
• “We must keep Africa poor at all cost”.
He’s portraying the attitudes of the IMF, World Bank and the World Trade Organisation (WTO) towards sub-Saharan Africa.
Such is life.... And their leader is enjoying
🙏100% agree wt u
This video humbled many people.😊
Love your content. Just one request, could you please add subtitles too?
As a South African living in the township, I always thought I was disadvantaged but looking at this documentary, I realised how much privileged I am. Today I’ve been taught to have gratitude for my life. 😢
I second that, I’m from Alexandra but then I’m so grateful after this doccie
True story
Bless you ♥️
You should be grateful for life itself, regardless of your financial position, but you should live for a higher standard of living. Looking at this documentary I can only shake my head, there's a monopolized company which is undoubtedly exploiting the people, and community as a whole, I'd be pissed and try to get the community to do something about it. SOSUMO had a sales revenue of $15.97 million. Those types of companies could spend $2-3 million dollars to improve lives of locals.
If u r still young keep going to school one day u ll build a nice house, get a good job and help others
i am from Malawi, though our country is struggling economically, We have a lot of Burundis here who come searching for greener pasture and they are the most hardworking people i've ever seen. i admire their work ethic and attitude towards business. they are doing pretty well by malawian standards

@@doejon9424 While that sounds great it ain't going to fix the countries overall problems that cause people to live like this in the first place
@@just_a_turtle_chad You're absolutely right. Saving 4 childrens lives just isn't worth it because the country is in such a bad state. The most dangerous place for a child/person nowadays is in the womb, because of sky rocketing abortions. They survived that part.
So sad, I remember going to El Salvador when I was a kid and at a young age knowing I had it better than majority of the people there. El Salvador ain’t no where near this bad but I still remember seeing the struggle.
Well, I've seen MurphsLife videos of El Salvador, I would cry with each story, he's really doing good.... And changing the lives of many right now

I'm from Afghanistan. Seeing these homes crushed my heart ❤️😭. I love you people.
There is war in my country from more than 4 decades and still going on.
We own a mud house which is very big and beautiful and land for cultivation.
Unfortunately I have lost half of my family members due to war. We have everything but still we miss our home village (its very beautiful).
I live in USA with my mother and a sister. Eight members of my family live in Belgium and one lives in London. We believed that getting foreign passports and high standards of life will make us happy. Now, we miss each negative aspect of our lives in Afghanistan and we pray that peace prevail and Afghanistan become a tourist destination again.
Love people of Burundi ( had a friend used to say that Burundi is the Switzerland of Africa).

I'm glad I clicked this video. I will never know what they're going through, but seeing this, here in the comfort of my house, breaks my heart. You will never understand poverty unless you see what it's like. These kinds of documentaries open our eyes to far more problematic matters the world has aside from ourselves. The world is so fucked up. I realize poverty is just a mere word for someone who hasn't seen it. To anyone who has seen this, share it with everyone you know. The world has to see this.
It's always been heartbreaking to watch "families and children" starving. And often, (watch the LDS comments now) the families are ordered by governments, if they want 'aide", the husband must leave the home? (USA). Now, Is the "answer" to send toys to children, or to start doin what the smart people in china started decades ago, and LIMIT the AMOUNT of children allowed to each"family?" . Watching children starve is only a symptom; of the problem, isn' t it ? The whole problem of child starvation (and some trafficking?) could be in that upside down Cristian ethic, now couldn't it ? At least when sex rules in Hollywood, the children are well-taken care of. I knew that would open up a can of worms of discussion, sorry-just that we know many Christians don't believe in the birth control pill either. There's one African mother of 34 children, asking for help to support her "family," though the fathers OF her family have all left for new wives ? BIG WORLD PROBLEM.

All I can say is wow. I am definitely of the lower class in America because I live on my own and go through college, but I still have a 2 bedroom apartment, with electricity, heating, cooling and water, and I take it for granted every day, when there are people who live like this.

people living in tents in your country don't have such so why you act like you have never seen such before?

You have central air and utilities a two bedroom home alone and still afford college.

Unbelivable, i wish people could have the courage to go develop these countries by giving them at least eletricity/water and a fertile environnement to grow food. Breaks my heart and while i'm struggling here because everything is way more expensive, i wish i could get 1 year salary, go there and freaking build a life for these people that need help.
@fatopossum Thank you.
Well, other countries have developed technologies and improvements on their own. We can't babysit the whole world. We can share information. If you're in the area you can try to help out.
I don't mean to sound negative, but these places need to learn to take care of themselves. Certainly nothing wrong with others helping them do so, but it's dangerous for them to rely on outside help too much.
@@anonamatron I kinda agree a bit, like learning how to go fishing instead of giving fish straight away. But i think there's a big geographical/political situation that doesnt help them.
We tried, it was called colonization. They kicked us out and they suffer for it every day

My friend from Nigeria says, "All are rich in America... even the poor live like kings." That's what her first thoughts were when driving away from the airport upon arriving in the United States. It is all so relative. What she could do with a nice piece of clothe or two, was stunningly beautiful. Next to my mother and grandmother, she and her children were the hardest working people with the highest standards that I have ever known. She called American schools "play school", and her children did extra math, science, and reading at home everyday. Taught me a thing or two, I must say, and I deeply admired her and her family very much.
Its not just America. It bothers me that people always utilize America to make comparisons like this, but I understand.
I’m not surprised she’s Nigerian. Many Nigerians are hard working and go the extra mile like that. Reminds me of Japan culture
America is really that rich. The problem is that the people are either drug addicts or lazy ones. If you just get up and work you can surely live whatever job you make. Unlike poor countries, even you get a job, you are still so underpaid.
Than u must see the condition of poors homeless in America
THERE ARE MORE POOR IN AMERICA THAN THERE POPULATION...BECAUSE THE POLICE IN AMERICA SELL 40 PERCENT OF ALL STREET DRUGS..

My country is a poor country too. From what I observed, the main cause of poverty is the corrupt government and leader. It doesn’t matter how much resources a country has, if they cannot manage it well for their people, there will always be poor society. It includes the government to provide basics needs for the poorest and good education so in few years they’re able to help themselves and then boost the economy.
The government's responsibility is to industrialise the country. Just follow the pattern of any other developed country, build factories to create exponential growth
russia gets over 38b every month from exports and there are still poor people there. ido not think hu,mans will ever know what is good for themselves.
This is why it us like this in poor countries. Majority have a corrupted gov. Nice speech when it comes to vote then nothing when elected and also majority are paying to win! It is like a unended problem in so many countries.
