Gender issues: women face challenges and solutions #gender

Women make up more than half the world's population, but the majority of them live in poverty. for their lives to change, they need access and political power to speak out, and support amongst themselves.

More women are poor than men because of lack or very limited control of resources, limited level of education and because most of their work is unpaid. Most women do not have control to landed property due to cultural, religious and stereotype.

It is said that if you educate a…

Too much alcohol usage = unhealthy life

Laziness + Not taken to consirderation = Crime

I must say everything wrong starts when you decide to seat back and do nothing. Laziness is the bad habit ever. Young boys in my community believe that working for a company is something they would not do I love the mindset but the annoying part is that , all of them are seating in their parents home doing nothing, though the girls believe that being a impregnated is the good idea because father of the child would have to go and look for a job so a child could live and the government is the…

MATRICULANTS IN OUR COMMUNUTY

What is the use of people/learners to have grade12/matric certificates in their homes/hands???

entrepreneurship in the township#hustle

Overall, I understand that poor people are the worlds greatest entrepreneurs. Everyday they must innovate in order to survive. They remain poor because they do not have the opportunities to turn their creativity into sustainable income.

Now lets go back to our own crawling(township) entrepreneurs. This is what I learned in my own journey that a business does not work unless you do. the more you take care of yourself and self reflection tools, the more prosperous your business become…

Uprotected sex + Lack of of knowledge = #HIV&AIDS

Since we are asked to talk about problems faced by our communities. Over the years my area has been the victim of burying people who died of HIV&AIDS. I guess this thing is a continuation because early this year we attended a funeral of a sister of one of our teammates who died of this disease.

The real thing causes all these is that most of this girls offers sexual intercourse for payment, they drop out of school, they hurry to be called ''UMAKOTI'', they became mothers at the…

Drugs + low self-esteem =#Crime and corruption

Since we approach December crime in my community increases day by day, on September some people lived without electricity only because their cables was stolen but early last month we caught one of these cruel people and our strategy to catch them its simple we blow whistle. I personally believe that if you buy stolen goods, you are financing criminals and creating a demand for your own victimization and also fuel the victimization of others. Let us work together and reduce criminal…

Always appreciate

Do not rush through life guys. Do not wish that you were a year older. Do not wish that you had finished school. Slow down and enjoy the moment where you are right now. If you are going through tough times, learn from them and grow. just know that you are exactly where you are meant to be. Some people needed to hear this
