I shudder when I think of aid going to corrupt countries or even billionaires just giving their cash away. The birthrate argument has been dead for 50 years. It doesn't matter.

What does matter is gaining the biggest bang from every dollar invested and making sure African nations develop economies that include food planning. The largely unfarmed and undeveloped continent needs to rise above corruption and invest in companies that can create jobs, deliver goods and services and pay some taxes to an honest regime.  In many nations, this effort is well underway.

Billionnares who made their fortunes through extraordinary corporate enterprises need to teach the developing world how to copy their brilliant strategies, through tailored investment strategies, not donations.

As for women receiving equal treatment, I think the women on Shark's Tank provide the best example of women gaining equality. In every single episode, they take it. Women need to take their place. It's hard but doable.
