Can Steem Promotion and Awareness Creation Alleviate Poverty in Africa?

in Steem Marketing3 years ago

A year or so ago the current community heartchurch which was then known as steemchurch initiated a campaign on catering people with atleast 1 dollar a day, before this @pennsif had already had the @adollaraday campaign ongoing and was receiving good support which was moved lots of philanthropic activity on the blockchain and helped many find their daily living

During this campaign by @heartchurch the farming project also came about and through steem many were able to procure some farming tools, lands and crops which became a sustainable way of living for them. Many undermine the great things steem can do and many do not see the potential of steem, the limit their vision to the profit and perhaps diary game but today it dawned on me and i started to wonder, can steem alleviate poverty in Africa or Ghana?

Lets take it one step at a time, do you think steem can alleviate poverty in your community? Well i can and i believe if we do things right it can go wider, expanding to the whole country or perhaps a continent. You may notice that the first Sustainable Development Goal that was spelt out from the Alma Mata Declaration focused on poverty and this is because poverty is a canker plaguing many countries and ought to be alleviated.

Big countries and big organizations are doing their very best to help with the situation across the globe, what are we doing as steemians to add out quota to the situation. I am always proud and excited to see charity works on the blockchain, perhaps one day we would a community established that would focus solely on charity and this would promote the focus and goal as much we had focused on contests and even powerups. Imagine steemians decided to set a part of their earnings on a regular basis to support charity on the blockchain.

According to worldbank.org "433 million living in the sub-saharan region has been approximated to live in extreme poverty. The issue of poverty or extreme poverty does not limit itself to Africa alone. According to fullfacts.org the UK estimated 14.3 million to be living below the poverty line. I am not asking that this issue be solved at a go but i am hopeful that steemians and our amazing blockchain will continue its good work to continue to battle this pandemic that many do not consider in our own ways and do the best we can to help as many as we can wherever we find ourselves.

Poverty has indigenous folks in Ghana focusing more on "galamsey" illegal minning to survive and now our waters bodies are so polluted people are giving birth to deformed babies. Poverty has countries been overun by powerful states to take away their resource for megre fees. Poverty has promoted child labour, sex trafficking, child trafficking and all the other things you can simple imagine.

Poverty is a deadly disease and through steem, through promotional activites, through awareness and through their education and enlightenment more can be done. Are you willing to make the change? That's the million dollar question i ask myself. The man in the mirror is you and I, how are we helping? Maybe someday things would get better than it is today and we will have steemit to thank for.

This is a good answer to the question. For Steem to be impactful in the lives of many people we have to play a good role in adding value to see it at the top. The more people hear about it, the more are we likely to attract the attention of the masses and investors as well. Steem is the future and the future has already started.

Let’s take steem to them who can’t fend for themselves to them who can’t afford their medical bills to them in remote and deprived areas, we can change life with steem and it begins with us, thank you so much for this response brother collinz

Да, я согласна с вами, на самом деле Steemit, способен помочь решать проблемы бедности в Африке. Привлекайте больше людей на Steemit, они научатся писать публикации, будут изучать технологию блокчейн, научатся торговать на криптобиржах. Вы создадите сообщества по борьбе с бедностью и создадите благотворительные организации, начнёте строить школы для детей. У нас на Steemit, есть прекрасные примеры благотворительной деятельности и построить школу было бы очень грандиозно!
Важно при этом оставаться всегда честными людьми!
Очень надеюсь, что вам удастся вопролотить все ваши идеи в жизнь и помочь многим людям!

спасибо за ваш честный отзыв, это моя мечта и надеюсь сделать лучше и больше для моего сообщества и везде, где я нахожусь в отношении Steem. Поскольку здоровье - это моя ниша, я буду продолжать делать все возможное, чтобы помогать тем, кто в этом нуждается, и тем, кто не может помочь себе сам. Блокчейн - это будущее, и я могу сказать, что будущее действительно яркое

Да, вы правы и я верю в ваши намерения и желание помогать другим людям. Здоровье это самое ценное, что есть у человека. И мне бы очень хотелось видеть Гану и весь африканский континент красивым и достойным местом для жизни коренного населения.
Как хорошо, что такие молодые парни как вы имеете желание улучшать жизнь людей. Спасибо вам, восхищаюсь вашими делами и мыслями.

Are you willing to make the change?

This question is something i ask myself as well. Steem has really made things we dreamt of doing a reality. With time poverty in africa can be alleviated or reduced. I always say dont get much before you help. Even if its a penny help someone. Together we can do more. Thanks for embarking this journey

Thanks for your kind words and support brother, let do more with the little we get and surely we can make a change wherever we find ourself

Yes, it can, and we are doing a sustainable project in Indonesia through steem.amal funding support. We have supported many projects run over Aceh. Besides, I have my personal support project call "World Smile Project" run across the border to the Philippines, Venezuela, and recently I committed to support Nigeria. If you are doing something similar or so, please let me know, perhaps we can do a collaboration program to support those in need in your country.

Best Regards

Hello @el-nailul, thanks for the opportunity, i am hoping i could talk to you more about my project perhaps on discord? However, i would be honored to have your support, i have run the @bettervision project for the past 3 years now and what we done over the years is to touch lives in diverse ways but mostly through free healthcare with more focus on their ocular health as i specialize in the eye. We have embark on countless outreach expeditions and have helped thousands however covid kept our activities on hold for a while and we lost our funding source from fundition when their operations halted, however we have resumed fully with our program and have embarked on several outreaches this year and so yes we would be truly privileged to have your support for the less privilege. Thank you for the opportunity once again and i look forward to hearing more from you.

I am willing to support the act of kindness while promoting the steem across the globe. I need to learn more about what you are doing recently in your area, and I will see to support you where possible. I am focusing on the children and education actually, are there any activities that involve the children the remote area where there is the possibility to promote the steem for a better life out the societies?

For the past years some of the children who have been involved in our project were children from the orphanage whom we visit to Give out products and foodstuff to keep them going, the last time Ghana had it on a massive scale we got steem t-shirts for the kids too however we are trying to find ways and means to enlighten the young ones from the deprived communities to help them help their families and communities. We also have an alliance with girls foundation Ghana where we embark on educational trips to give our free exercise books and text books to help the children in their education whiles promoting steem to their teachers and members of the community. I keep you updated on our programs, visits and progress.

Can we talk on discord?

Investing in the education of women and girls is one of the best decision steem can hold on to. Thanks for bringing this up. We surely will be involving in empowering women in blockchain and also supporting girls in school with @girlfoundationgh. Thanks for helping to create the awareness once again.
