Why do you think Kenya's economy is any less robust? The per-capita GDP has increased fivefold in the past two decades. It's a fraction of the income level of the US, but it's a robust, dynamic, and growing economy.

(And I think most of what you wrote is based on similar stereotypes)



Robust was probably the wrong word, but I couldn’t capture the right word. But notice I did say “less”.

What stereotypes?


I can think of few better outcomes than someone "taking advantage of" 200,000 people living in Kibera slum in Nairobi by giving them $10/day desk jobs. Or some of the poorer rural populations. Or the hundreds of thousands some of the refugee camps.

That would be transformational.
