Black Enterprise
|
| This website of the magazine Black Enterprise explores strategies to wealth development, framed around ten different values. Emphasizing homeownership and investment as keys to building wealth, the website offers a free kit we can download with advice, resources, worksheets, and charts to help readers through wealth-building steps. The kit approaches wealth-building from a free-enterprise perspective but at the same time points to the necessity of reinvesting in the black community—keeping money within the community to build communal, not just individual, wealth.
The kit is comprehensive, and doesn’t skip necessary first steps. For instance, the Black Enterprise Cash Flow Monitor asks one to track his or her spending right on down to pocket money. Also, the advice on planning a financial safety net started with a simple first step that is easy to forget but crucial: set aside time to plan our finances.

Hunger and World Poverty
|
| About 25,000 people die every day of hunger or hunger-related causes, according to the United Nations. This is one person every three and a half seconds, as you can see on this display. Unfortunately, it is children who die most often.
There are effective programs to break this spiral. For adults, there are “food for work” programs where the adults are paid with food to build schools, dig wells, make roads, and so on. This both nourishes them and builds infrastructure to end the poverty. For children, there are “food for education” programs where the children are provided with food when they attend school. Their education will help them to escape from hunger and global poverty.
