Africans Don't Donate To Their Former Schools Unlike Americans by panafrican(m): 3:14pm On Jun 10, 2018
Looks like in Africa once people graduate from university or own those big businesses, and start making big money, they don' t look back. They don' t donate to their former schools ( elementary school, high school or Unuversity). This is quite the opposite in the U.S. where most of the time people give back to the community .They offer scholarships to high school students or university. students.Some offer computers , TI Calculators, printers etc to their former high schools. We don't see thiat taking place in Africa .Most of the time we expect the government to do everry single thing when it comes to education.

It's not part of the culture here. Some do but most give zero f-ucks. With globalization being a way of life a lot of the new generation will imbibe the habit. I give it about forty years or less to become mainstream.

in Africa they don't teach you to be prosperous they teach to be a slave and a dim wit, so the only time people would donate is when they either overcome that slavemind or just to show off kapich.

People can't donate what they do not have. It's as simple as ABC.
