I know this isn't the typical "nerdy" post you'd expect from me, but something has been going on in Africa that hasn't received a ton of coverage stateside (at least nothing I have seen) and I can't just be silent about it.There has been a women's movement going on, that has started to score some big wins in the recent years.
There's an old saying, "Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. But teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime." As a kid I wasn't sure what this actually meant, but now I see this proverb is about educating someone so they're capable of taking care of themselves. This strong sense of empowerment is exactly what the women of the Anakazi Center intend to do, well minus the fish.
