African countries need infrastructure financing. IMF and World Bank loans are providing additional financing.

The impact of a stronger U.S. dollar on Africa- the situation in Uganda, Zambia, Nigeria, S. Africa, and other countries with depreciating currencies
03/25/2015
The lack of $30 million in dollar funds leads to closing of a refinery and long lines in Lusaka,, Zambia. A large supermarket in Kampala, Uganda, has empty shelves for imported products as it becomes costlier to import with a depreciating currency. Flights on a Portugal run airline into Angola now cost more. Infrastructure improvements are being delayed because of the extra cost. Throughout Africa one can see the impact of an appreciating U.S. dollar.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
