The Cheetah Generation

"Every social need is a business opportunity." - George Ayittey

Dr. George Ayittey PhD runs the Free Africa Foundation, which he established in 1993 in Washington, D.C., to serve as a catalyst for change in Africa. The Foundation’s motto is: “Africa is poor because she is not free.” As such, the Foundation actively promotes political, economic and intellectual freedom. Here he talks about the Cheetah Generation, the generation of young Africans who are ready to lead the way in business and poverty solutions. This concept is at the core of PovertyCure: the ability of people to create wealth when given the ability to access global markets within a fair system of government.
