Using the Ethiopian traditional coffee pot called the “Jebena”, this image is based on the concept of “the Indian giver.” Often aid in Africa has become a trend that limits our ability to be self-sustainable. Many NGO’s work with the idea of helping us but in reality, they are only helping themselves with their high wages, expensive cars and villa houses. What we need to do to move Africa forward is not handouts but opportunities in developing entrepreneurs and also a better education system that helps us to find better solutions for our problems.
