In Kenya, poverty has improved greatly over the past 5 years. Organizations have been helping the agriculture and education flourish. Sauri, Kenya, one of the 80-Millennium villages, has become successful, as they’ve leaned how to work independently. Sachs, a world-renown economist, has focused on using simple programs to make Sauri an independent village, such as fighting against malaria. Communication has saved lives, letting people have instant access to the outside world. Sachs dreams to make his millennium villages go worldwide. Some criticize Sachs’ techniques because of the idea of poverty being linked to terrorism.
