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🙏
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
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'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
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.
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.
They need to stop having so many kids. Pretty selfish if you ask me if you keep having kids if you cant take care of the ones you have. They need wells yes, but they need to stop treating kids as commodities.
@@Smile200-z4y Totally agree if that's a problem. It's a big problem here in the US too. It's the babies who suffer and have miserable lives due to the selfishness you're talking about.
@longestvideoever they can't afford water, how do you think they can afford birth control??? Just tell them all to stop having babies to wipe out a whole population of people. How about the 1%wealthy help these people?? The wealthy have multiple homes all over the world and can't help a small village that costs less than what they spent last week. Stop blaming people that are just trying to have a family, to have love, laughter and joy. Not to mention it's a fundamental right, a God given right to have a family. They may not have much but they have people around them that love them. I've seen people so disgusted with their kids that they murder them. These people are not on drugs, they are not drunks, they only thing they have that's bad is their situation. Stop giving them rice and give them a way to live. All this money and resources in the world, there should be no child living like this. There should be no one going hungry or dying from starvation. Greed, just simple greed. There are poor places in the US, are you going to tell them to stop having kids as well???
@@Smile200-z4y I agree. However I would point out that it’s possible that this incentive to have more kids is a result of inadequate education on family planning. Culture aside, some families try to have many kids because they 1. Are worried about children dying before reaching adulthood (which is basically what happened in the Middle Ages) 2. Need someone to take care of them in old age/continue running the family business. If this were in a 1st-world country where proper education is provided to all, the second reason is clearly selfish. But in the context of Burundi, where survival is a struggle, it makes more sense (at least to them) to have more kids to combat the issue, but unfortunately they don’t or barely consider the overwhelming downsides of having too many children, some even counterproductive to their original intentions. It’s a very far-sighted decision. Of course, it’s gonna be hard to convince them to have less kids if it’s a culture thing, plus the circumstances I mentioned. It’s a far deeper rooted issue than just having insufficient food or inadequate education.
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..
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.
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.
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.
@@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.
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?
what horrible conditions, but having 8, 9, 10 children is just crazy, to me it's a form of cruelty to bring children into the world knowing they will suffer, it's reckless and will just lead to more suffering
@@holycityheart when they're creating unnecessary suffering I will repeat what I just said, it's cruel, they're at an animalistic level of only thinking about reproducing, it will remain a hellhole until they elevate to the level of controlling reproduction and having 1,2 or 3 children
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.
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 .
I'm from Burundi, lived there for 17years and unlike these families in this doc thanks to god and my hard working family that was able to provide and protect me, where I can say I've never missed a meal in my life. I feel for my country and when I make it, my first flight will be back home to help my people.
@@clownArabvery sad to be so closed minded and on a video that is literally meant to bring people together but hey some people love to spread hate instead of love. 😔
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.
@@Higherthoughts.8 What makes me sick the Arabs and Emirates is making this big ass city’s with all the oil they have and not think of there neighbors oh but, we have to step in.
I lived in Kabul, Afghanistan when I was a teenager, because my father worked for USAID. Kabul was not as poor as these people, but I saw a great deal of poverty such as one does not see in the U.S. I think every American, especially young Americans, should see this video. Three or four times, until they understand it. We are so privileged.
I don't think you are privileged in us, I am European and I don't find anything cool about us and not that much in Europe, maybe you are a rich american but lots americans are only begging for money and sleeping rough between few rich, lots of junkies and alcohol consumption, tell those guys on the skid row that they are privileged
I'm not privileged. I work hard, try, fix my community, and am smarter than the people who live here. The truth is hard to accept but the kind of people that live in area determine what that area will look like.
I'm an Indian. When I was a kid, I used to cry a lot because I never had any fancy clothes or bags or bicycles. But after watching this, I feel so grateful for everything I have in life. God bless this country and help them overcome these tough times . ❤❤
@@HuoYuhao I'll pray for you. God is not your enemy. He is there, He does love you and He has been trying to get your attention. Give Him a reql chance. Open your heart, mind and spirit. God is good! 🙏🏼🙏🏼
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
@@AreteZoe It's because of the greed. People are greedy. People want more and more. I'm making in a month what they are making in 15 years, however I still feel it is not enough.
@@JackRR15 How do you know? How do you know what god wants? How do you know god doesn't specifically want that poor terrible life conditions like these existed?
@@RaduRadonys Because rationally it makes no sense. My religion teaches you to be good and that god is good and satan is evil. Poor people suffering miserable life conditions is not being in a good life, that is fucking evil. I was a very religious person before. I've been baptised and had my First Communion, so it's not like I'm talking out of my ass either. You really have to be deluded to think religion is real. It doesn't make sense when you look at it logically and you stop being brainwashed by the people who force you into religion.
Hope there are Kenyans watching this and seeing how privileged we're as a country. My heart weeps for my motherland Africa because most of the problems we face can be tackled if our leaders became more accountable and not corrupt
What their government s doing why they didn't do something to teach them or to help the people of the other side of africa we are poor but thanks god we eat 3times a day
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
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.
As a Ghanaian we complain daily about our country, but watching this just breaks my heart 💔😞.. Infact the whole Africa needs deliverance from greedy politicians
I live in one of the poorest country in the world, Madagascar. It's not far from their situation here. The government is rotten (a lot of corruption), the people with power lives in luxury, they are extremely rich. If i had money i would have helped the people here by creating businesses to give the people here jobs. I'm penniless but I'm walking towards that path. I'm sorry, I'm not that good at english.
you're english is great! Keep going and always remember that Jesus loves you sooo much ❤ Jesus died and rose to pay the price for your sins, so now you can access salvation if you go to Jesus! Repent of your sins and tell Jesus "I give my life to you Jesus, please forgive me of my sins and save me from the evil one."
I've visited Madagascar. What a beautiful country. It's a shame about the corruption. I did a write-up on a company there that was trying to build a little infrastructure for its workers, not just for charity but to develop the country a bit and help the workers be productive. That kind of socially beneficial business seems like the right way, as long as the government allows it and encourages it.
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.
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
Ruhi wow! Thank you SO much for the work you do, for showing these places of the world without your lens of judgment. Just amazing work, and beautiful, resilient people. A reminder to us all to chase gratitude and not greed, and to always do our works for the greater good of all
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
@@artinsigne8812 Although I do not support romantizing poverty, I don't think this is romantization. It's just a more optimistic look for them. Poor people in general tend to smile a lot, it is true.
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.
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.
@@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 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 ❤ 🫂
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!!!
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.
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). Each person is missing his/her home place when abroad.

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♥️!

@@justinciallella4724THEIR RESOURCES ARE BEING STOLEN BY THE INSTITUTIONS THATS SAYING THEIR POOR! 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.
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. 😢
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.
I'm not the kind of person that comments on UA-cam videos but I'd like to share what I've going through and to give some engagement to the video as well... I was feeling really sad and I was so ungrateful with the life I have, I used to compare myself to celebrities, rich people and stuff like that... I used to just forget how good my life is, it's just unbelievable that millions of people around the world have to live this way (the one showed on the video), it's so heartbreaking. Now I can clearly see that I have so many opportunities to live the best I can live and also to be able to help those people in the future. I really needed to watch this video and I hope that somehow things will get better for them...!
Just imagine going to the bar, ordering a drink and realize it's John's monthly salary. 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.
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.

After watching this video of poverty in Burundi, i realized i was lucky living in the Philippines. Though were not rich i get to eat 3 meals a day and had a decent house to live in. I pray to God to help these people not only in Burundi but all over the world who suffers from extreme poverty. God bless us all!🙏
My hearts breaks seeing this video.. I am lucky also Im living in Philippines and I am proudly Pinoy though we are not a rich country but we eat 3times a day or more that we have a source of foods from the sea.May God Bless all people and countries all over the world who suffered extreme poverty.after all we are all children of God.🙏🙏
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. :(
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.
He should've bought those little tax deductible children & gave them a better life. Lord knows he could've afforded it, living this type of adventures lifestyle.
@@TurtleChad1 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.
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.
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
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. Sad to see because some has real potential and because the gov steal its own country... it stay poor.
I can not even imagine the torment pain, physical and emotional suffering these people go through on a daily basis. I am grateful for everything after watching this video. 🙏
It wouldn't be that much hard for them i guess. When suffering go through on daily basis it becomes habit and they don't feel it like we feel it for them.
@@brobro3330 exactly 💯 they are laughing having fun and very thankful. They are not suffering from chemical foods or cold weather's, high bills to pay! They work day to day just normal jobs for the food on itself that they have to eat from day to day.
@@Jr-fn4nn Yeah these people look more happy than most Americans. As an American paying $4500 USD a month in bills and DOESNT have kids, yeah life here is stressful. I wish for a more organic life like in this video with less worries.
I feel sorry for Burundi. I think education is the beginning of building the economy. I am from Kenya and since the free education was introduced in 2002, a lot of things have changed. 95% of people are educated to at least secondary school while 87% have electricity. It is time we elect visionary leaders to lead major transformations in Africa. Diversification of the economy and innovation is very critical to make africa a better place.
First sort out basic things (like u mentioned, education..), than think about innovation.. just advice:) Innovation is hard. You can be 10 times richer without any innovation.
the problem with every country is not the solution. The solution everyone knows in every country. Every country's issues come from the government and it trickles down. No matter what the people do, they are slaves to their government which does not want them to get out of their conditions. There's a reason the prime minister rides through and people move and the same for the president in our country. The way we behave is that one person is better than the other because of their money. Funny is we all die in the end.
Education is best for individuals. But to advance society as a whole, they need to do more manufacturing (secondary industry) instead of agriculture, to better trade within nations. Unfortunately, nobody wants to buy African products.
can't have education without foundation, cant have foundation without a government structure. can't have a government structure without education. sadly it will be very hard to change other wise this would have been fixed 50 years ago.
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.
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.
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.
@@vanitahnambatya9793 the fact that they have time to be racist even though they live in a shitty country, like focus on more important things like development smh
This is sad, i am Kenyan and we're not exactly well off but the Burundian situation breaks my heart. I wish our leaders could come to their senses and see the pain they cause innocent people. Man i feel like crying. God be with you brothers ❤
I'm Indonesian. There are a lot of people under poverty line here. But i never see something like this. Praying for brother & sister in Burundi and in every corner of this world who still fighting for their life
I took a screen shot of the man carrying five bags of rice on the back of his neck to remind me, everyday to be thankful. I don't understand how we as a world still have people on earth living this way. Such hard working people who contribute to their land & each other every single day! This is beyond heartbreaking! We waste so much food, clothes, money daily & there are people who would greatly benefit from our disregard belongings. Shame on us as humans.
Go to mexico, you'll appreciate everything so much more. People carry jerry cans to the gas station as they run before the gas runs out until they are refilled the next week or the next. Dogs roam free, some use the river to wash clothes and themselves. Idk if its everyone but at my grandmas you had to make a fire in the furnace to get hot water for a shower. Everything is hand washed, dishes, clothes. Not to mention the pay sucks ass as well.
@@emceekaoz1886 Just like Detroit or the South, or even that Appalachian mountains in the United States. There's poor everywhere but this is another level.
@Ethan Clarke I guess you’re right; worry about yourself before worrying about others, make sure you are good before you try to help others. A lil messed up but makes sense
@@NgJackal1990 i dont want, in my country even the most poor can go to a social dining room, and get 2 plates dessert and drink, for free, either they can sit on the street and at the end of the day they will get minimum 15 20 euros or more, in spain is impossible to die of starvation, this countries are in other level of need, they really need help
Hey if you are from that country can you connect me to a poor family with little girls? I wanna support a little for a family help out their life a bit. Reply me please.
Does colonization have something to do with that issue or was it because of the mentality of the people in that area on why the country is like that(Pre colonization and Post colonization)?
Watching this is so heartbreaking. Now I realize how grateful I am to have a job enough to sustain my daily needs and support my family. I wish they can develope there economy, so that there's no death due to starvation.
By watching this..I really thankful to God that truly I am blessed enough and it motivated me to count really all the blessings that I have...and I pray that other rich country may send help to this country...and I hope that women may be given an education to have enough knowledge to have family planning so that they can have enough children that they can sustain....really this country needs help....I wish they can develop their economy so that nobody could die by starvation especially those precious children....my prayers for this country..it broke my heart that children can be sold...I wish that some rich people near to them may give help...
@@kato_dsrdras if they can control that shit, organisms reproduce, and craving for sex is normal so your really fucking stupid if you expect everyone there to just stop having kids and let their ethnicity go extinct 💀 and stuff like r@p3 exist too…
They have nutritious food lol look at fishes and farm may be they dont have good houses and clothes but they have a lot of food i think the infrastructure also still not good God will assit his peolpe in Burundi and Africa continent as a whole this due to colonialism and neo colonialism which leads Burudi into war and civil war always they run to refuge in neighbour countries like here in our country Tanzania we have many people of Burundi as our brother God bless Burundi our friends and neighbour country
You know why they keep giving birth because they blessed with a lot of nutrious food so they are fetile even here in my beatiful country Tanzania people do have many childrens up to ten to 15 childrens the life style is the same in village except here in Tanzania we enjoy fo the past years no running for refuge no civil war up this time that is why village in Tanzania they are better developed than on that of Burundi Sometimes the economy of country grow due to peace
One thing that I have noticed while watching this documentary was this country is literally rich in natural resources, and the people are actually hard working and happy despite to the poverty that causes starvation.
How beneficial to a Burundi citizen to overstraining their bodies many hours a day, without protein rich food affordable, and with a pititiful amount of recompense? How does it benefit them to wear their bodies down,barely surviving in pestilent conditions, without proper food ,clothing, housing, health, education etc??? How? What is praiseworthy of the "hard work"?
I live below the official poverty level for a single retired person. I live from check-to-check with very little money left for having fun or buying a small luxury. But, compared with much of the world, I live like a queen. 😥 Bless these poor, struggling people of Burundi.🌷
It's amazing how these lovely people can still put a beautiful smile on their face despite the terrible poverty they're facing. This made me realize how ignorant I am to always complain simple problems in life, and get upset over small things. Little did I know how fortunate I am to have food in my tummy and clean water to quench my thirst. After watching this video, I was left teary eyed and felt emotional. If only corruption doesn't exist, and everyone has a heart to help and share their riches in life, the world would be a better place.
Bro I’ll tell you the less you have the happier you are, when you have an broad knowledge of the world and better conditions you feel a pressure to be someone that these people just don’t have this at the end makes totally difference in someone happiness
Yes Worlds is a better place if only the Millionaires and Billionaires can Pitch in , I’m not a millionaire but I help out a lot to those who in needs I watched another UA-camr or Vloggers of Another country the family was so poor too with a lot of Children’s so I send them money from time to time.. This is heartbreaking 💔
You are lucky to have these things, but don't downplay the problems of your country because another is worse, we shouldn't try to improve all countries to a specific standard, we should try to always be better than the decade or even year before and settling for what you have only hinders that
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 an African this breaks my heart but also reminds me to be grateful for everything. What we think is useless is valuable to others.Thanks for sharing
I’m Jamaican & this frustrates me!! Why have they gone to a country just to expose their weakness to the world? What is the point here?? This feeds into the world wide narrative that African countries are poor & struggling, a narrative we have ALL been given, most of us from birth. Why do you think even as black people who do not live in Africa, we’re scared to go there. Most Jamaicans find it insulting to be called African. This propoganda needs to stop! What does this video solve apart from promoting this destructive ideology that Africa is a struggling, poverty stricken content!?
I feel so sorry for the children. They never asked to be brought into this world and especially into these conditions. Averaging 6 kids per family is ridiculous 😔 kids are the most innocent souls in the world, they don’t deserved to be punished
@@shereehi5539 only bite what you can swallow . producing more than 3 children while you can barely feed one is sad . Clearly these people lack education and its the reason why many of those children suffer . by bringing innocent child into this world just to suffer is bad . they deserve to live as much as anyone its true . but would you even call it living . i bet you have never suffered starvation kid . you dont understand how it feels to starve to death because ive been through that in my life . i am lucky to still be alive i have lost my 3 siblings and both parents to starvation and disease . i had suffered a lot during my childhood days . trust me not being born ito a family where you starve to death is salvation . its harsh but reality
@@shereehi5539 he's right tho. In a mention, the kids will have a better life but in those conditions, they're not even living. He/she is not saying they don't deserve but they don't deserve this lifestyle because it's continuing the poverty cycle.
@@shereehi5539 No, the OP is right. If you are poor, don't give birth to many children thus subjecting them to unnecessary suffering. Personally, I will never have children until I am comfortable financially.
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
I'm Burundian This documentary reflects my village life. I don't have too much to say about it, but let me say that we have two kinds of lifestyle: the poor (More than 90%) and the so called rich who may be called poor when they are in western. However, I am happy to be Burundian!🇧🇮🇧🇮🇧🇮
@@Vikrum_ Unemployment, lack of projects due to the personal revenue are the root causes. We need people to teach our citizens how to fish and the means to start fishing
Hi you all.I am Burundian and I agree that our country is the poorest country in the world and some of the facts he touched in this video but please kindly note that it doesn't mean that 100 % of the population is poor as he mentioned and the fact that those people come and just visit poor places and never show the bright side of the country to the audience makes it worse and worse and it doesn't help in anyways at aaalllllll.I hope he will stop lying on his thumbnails ,telling people he saw people selling their children just to attract views and that 's what made me click this video as I wanted to know where he saw that but on my surprise it was an edited picture from photoshop and he didn't mention in his video people selling their children.Thank you for your kindness.
Not all African countries are affected for sure. But considering the rate of Poverty, it's heart breaking! Sure the people should wake up to improve something. Specially removing superstitions, and other false beliefs.
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. Really puts things into perspective
Maybe upper lower class because the lower class that I know doesn’t have amenities like yours. You have central air and utilities a two bedroom home alone and still afford college.
@@jyde50 very true it’s because they are blind to it. They live a good life in a home with running water and heating and cooling all over. They don’t see what they choose not to see in their own country.
Yeah but I think they also need to be educated on the importance of birth control like that family of eight children of which they barely have a place to sleep and I believe they will bear more children!🙆🙆
Iam a ghanian by nationality the way we here about Burundi 🇧🇮 is not the way am seeing it now we even say Burundi is better than most of our west Africa country but this video let me speak less
Videos like this are why I always tell my friends who say I’m “settling” for being perfectly happy with a normal middle class life are crazy. They all want to be rich but don’t realize even middle class is rich compared to a lot of the world, they only focus on American standards of living. Gratitude is something we need more of.
Exactly, being happy is state of mind. If you think that you are always less happy than other people, then you will be unhappy. If you are grateful enough and be happy while enjoying your journey to your dream life, you will be happy. I have a house, I have a car, I definitely don't have to worry about dying of starvation, I can enjoy the moment while keep pushing to get a better life. Truly a blissful life I have.
@Goosa Poosa lol what? You must be a troll or child. To think these people are weak is just ignorant, look how hard they work to get barley anything. Even if they feel "weak" it's from starvation, and even then they still work hard to do what they can.
@Goosa Poosa The majority living there aren’t people that “basically killed themselves with civil war”. They were born into a country with conflict, just like you would be if you were born during the world war 1 or 2 period a century ago. Would you say the same for your ancestors, are they weak?
I wish these people could be educated on the importance of family planning or birth control. It's very, very sad to notice that someone who is this poor, has eight children he even struggles to feed.
I know right.. 2 children died a painful death because a parent had children without proper planning, I get it, absolutely sad how people have to go through this but come on, eight children?
True! LONG TERM solution- One Child Policy... Their food will be enough if they only have one child. Only one child will suffer. Children are Parent's responsibility.
When I thought my life were too hard not knowing that there is lot more people who experience poverty and despite all that they were still wearing a smile on their faces.
THEY ARE POOR because they are being robbed. Africa problem is not poverty is security. the dont have the military to stop robbery. LOL 32:28 at least you told us the last minute of the video🤷where the country's FOOD is going. FOOD IS THE #1 export to Belgium 😆✨
It is very serious that people have to live like this in this world. Especially in this time. Over the past 2 years, the richest in this world have made billions again from the corona situation. The combined wealth of billionaires increased by 2.5 billion a day, while the poorest in the world only got poorer. I must say that I see a lot of smiling faces. Here in the west I see a lot of grumpy faces
Many grumpy, because they can't find the wife to start the family WITH, too? Having allot of sex and creating humongously large families in countries providing no jobs, has always been a world concern, now , hasn't it ?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.
Corona was not profitable at , i'd say it was actually a reality check into how absurd the life of the rich was vs the poor but its good to see that you've realized the ridiculous wealth inequality in this world just be careful of what you see on the internet there is a rather large amount of misinformation which has little bits of truth in it so its easy to fall for.
You can't expect the rich to give their hard earned money away. It's ok to give to people who are determined to improve their lives. But if people constantly gave money to poor people that would cause dependency. They need political reform and a fix to their economy. More people need to educate them on how to create a successful civilization, help them develop and assist with starting up jobs.
This is beyond difficult to simply watch. To live...I simply cannot begin to comprehend. I am a nurse and it is not only my desire but my calling to care and heal. This entire way of life goes against what I take for granted as my job that I am compensated well for. I just have no words to explain how this makes me feel yet I know the pits of the stomachs of all who watch understand.
This is 💯 absolutely correct I'm Burundian born there, and raised there take my education with a high school certificate but until now I'm heartbreaking when I see my beautiful motherland
Thank you for confirming that this is a realistic portrayal of life in the country. I am an African and am aware that foreigners often promote miserable images of Africa. I suspected that this was the case here, but you have confirmed that this is indeed a true portrayal of Burundi. Thank you for sharing your opinion.
Hello I would like to send some gifts to family's in this area. Can you recommend a local contact to accept packages and help with distribution of things like clothes and toys for the children?
What a heartbreaking situation these people find themselves in. I never knew Burundi was in such a mess. Thanks to the journalist for a very informative documentary.
its beautiful to see happy smiling faces,its not always about how much you have,,on the other hand to think of babys dieing of hunger in the 21st century,is a crime, bless all of us that realise we have enough,,xxxnever STOP Loving,,xxx
Well said, Capitalism is the cause of poverty in Burundi and elsewhere in the world!!!! What is the solution to this? Bad leadership worsens the situation.
The old guy just about broke my heart. Imagine not knowing how old you are? Living a whole life with no relevent information, just scraping a living and no-one outside your community cares. Things like this open our eyes to the privileges we have no idea of, like official documentation, ability to educate ourselves and the knowledge that we will have a lawyer stand up for us in court if the police abuse us
I wish someone can teach them that soil can make a good house and few woods and stone, than come farming seeds .....where my mother , she plant vegetable around house by saving seeds for next season.
For 25 years ago I’ve been there. What struck me then was how beautiful the scenery was, but also how many children there where. Of course they have every right to be, but this is an unsustainable. Unfortunately nothing has changed. Development has it downsides, but I wish there was a good mix between the positive attitude these people have and doing sensible things. The best of the African way and the western way.
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🙏

What is the goverment doing 😮
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'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

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 💯

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.
They need to stop having so many kids. Pretty selfish if you ask me if you keep having kids if you cant take care of the ones you have. They need wells yes, but they need to stop treating kids as commodities.
@@Smile200-z4y Totally agree if that's a problem. It's a big problem here in the US too. It's the babies who suffer and have miserable lives due to the selfishness you're talking about.
@longestvideoever they can't afford water, how do you think they can afford birth control??? Just tell them all to stop having babies to wipe out a whole population of people. How about the 1%wealthy help these people?? The wealthy have multiple homes all over the world and can't help a small village that costs less than what they spent last week. Stop blaming people that are just trying to have a family, to have love, laughter and joy. Not to mention it's a fundamental right, a God given right to have a family. They may not have much but they have people around them that love them. I've seen people so disgusted with their kids that they murder them. These people are not on drugs, they are not drunks, they only thing they have that's bad is their situation. Stop giving them rice and give them a way to live. All this money and resources in the world, there should be no child living like this. There should be no one going hungry or dying from starvation. Greed, just simple greed. There are poor places in the US, are you going to tell them to stop having kids as well???
They need outsiders to get them water but we're told "All cultures are equal"
@@Smile200-z4y I agree. However I would point out that it’s possible that this incentive to have more kids is a result of inadequate education on family planning. Culture aside, some families try to have many kids because they 1. Are worried about children dying before reaching adulthood (which is basically what happened in the Middle Ages) 2. Need someone to take care of them in old age/continue running the family business. If this were in a 1st-world country where proper education is provided to all, the second reason is clearly selfish. But in the context of Burundi, where survival is a struggle, it makes more sense (at least to them) to have more kids to combat the issue, but unfortunately they don’t or barely consider the overwhelming downsides of having too many children, some even counterproductive to their original intentions. It’s a very far-sighted decision.
Of course, it’s gonna be hard to convince them to have less kids if it’s a culture thing, plus the circumstances I mentioned. It’s a far deeper rooted issue than just having insufficient food or inadequate education.
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.

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.

I did a write-up on a company there that was trying to build a little infrastructure for its workers, not just for charity but to develop the country a bit and help the workers be productive.

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 🙏.

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.

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.

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.

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.

This really puts it into perspective how so many of us have it so good.

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.

I feel sorry for Burundi. I think education is the beginning of building the economy. I am from Kenya and since the free education was introduced in 2002, a lot of things have changed. 95% of people are educated to at least secondary school while 87% have electricity. It is time we elect visionary leaders to lead major transformations in Africa. Diversification of the economy and innovation is very critical to make africa a better place.
Yea
First sort out basic things (like u mentioned, education..), than think about innovation.. just advice:)
Innovation is hard. You can be 10 times richer without any innovation.
the problem with every country is not the solution. The solution everyone knows in every country. Every country's issues come from the government and it trickles down. No matter what the people do, they are slaves to their government which does not want them to get out of their conditions.
There's a reason the prime minister rides through and people move and the same for the president in our country. The way we behave is that one person is better than the other because of their money. Funny is we all die in the end.
Education is best for individuals. But to advance society as a whole, they need to do more manufacturing (secondary industry) instead of agriculture, to better trade within nations. Unfortunately, nobody wants to buy African products.
can't have education without foundation, cant have foundation without a government structure. can't have a government structure without education. sadly it will be very hard to change other wise this would have been fixed 50 years ago.

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..
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.

You can't expect the rich to give their hard earned money away. It's ok to give to people who are determined to improve their lives.

More people need to educate them on how to create a successful civilization, help them develop and assist with starting up jobs.

The old guy just about broke my heart. Imagine not knowing how old you are? Living a whole life with no relevent information, just scraping a living and no-one outside your community cares.

The best of the African way and the western way.
