Economic Empowerment for Women

I will give the money to lanca Isvelia because i like she had a business with a lot of demand in the cost, due to that i think that she can be very successful following her dream. http://www.kiva.org/lend/512269#aboutTheCountry It is a minimum lend that can chance a life! I choice her because i think that she is starting now with her little business and I would like to see her grow. I also like her big smile, she seems to be a very kind person :) 

Kenyan Matatu Drivers

1)In the BBC documentary Matatu drivers where treated with no discrimination, as equals humans, as they are. The documentary was about the Kenya culture, because of that the BBC people were obligate to film the Matatu drivers. The also contacted Wambururu a famous Matatu driver to give the a trip. Unfortunately some Kenyans have a different opinion and think that the people who film them are always mocking them. 

2)I think that they are discriminated in very similar ways. For example in the way that they are treated by the police. The cops just accuse them to break the law just because they are Matatu drivers or Mototaxistas. Most people think that they are thieves and disrespectful persons. In my case i used to think that due to the fact that in the south on the city you can see a lot of motorcycles violating traffic laws or with a lot of people on board. Also most of thieves are motocicle drivers. I think that a similar situation happen in Kenya. But that's not okay! we need to to stop those stereotypes and star giving people opportunities to success.

Afrocolombians discrimination

The video shows that most of the AfroLatinos are poor. In Comlombia 46% are unemployed, only two in every hundred people are unemployed, the illiteracy rate and the mortality rate are 3 times higher than the habitual. This statistics are alarming! Even when there are institutions working for this communities those number show how the racism still exist in the XXI century!! Every single person in the world have to be conscious than we all are equal. At the end of the video appear a mail where you can report cases of racism.
