Sauri and the Millenium Villages

Agricultural yields have doubled; child mortality dropped by 30 percent; school attendance and test scores increased. Cell phone ownership increased fourfold resulting in changing attitudes. 80 millennium villages are spread across Africa, through projects inspired by Jeffrey Sachs. Simple technology based programs influence health care, education, job training rapidly lift people out of poverty. Teaching crop-rotation, mobilization against malaria, a killer of a million children yearly help empower africans. Sending blood results via phone causes instant medical response and treatment. Can Sauri be replicated world-wide? Sachs despite his reputation has critics who claim, Corrupt governments prevent promising aid projects. The public must be informed and act.
