03/31/2015
The insurgency in the northeast leads to lack of security, leading to a decline in foreign investment. This adds to the problems created by lower oil prices in 2015, and the depreciating currency. Muhammadu Buhari, a northerner was elected by a 10 point vote margin in March 2015 to help improve the economic situation in Nigeria, Africa's largest country.

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.
