World wide at least one hundred fifty million children live on the streets not just in korea countries in germany an estimated thirty two thousand children and young people have no roof over their heads in britain the figure is as high as one hundred twenty thousand. In nigeria more than one point two million children have left their homes many of them fleeing the Terror Group Boko Haram in china one point five million children are homeless and in one of the worlds richest countries the u.

They have Harriet Bruce anon to thank she helped them get accepted at universities and. Now theyre medical students i t majors law and business students. Why in ukraine because according to harriet its a country like ghana striving for democracy. And a valuable lesson because the problems it is also happening in most of african countries and then they can learn that people stood and fought for democracy then you dont give in ukraine always timed for that country. You thought always leaving their leaders to do whatever they like shooting the. Ukrainian law requires the students return to ghana after graduating. Harriet is keen for them to bring their skills back to ghana. Fifteen years ago she moved to decide or she worked there as a cleaning lady and sent her savings to ghana to build an orphanage. She looked for sponsors and donations and founded the Organization African angel. For a long. Time the children and students didnt know that harriet had to scrub toilets and dusseldorf to finance their education that came as a surprise. With the. Humility at their peak if someone like me. Its this humble and pleased to get money to cater for. Me i have no reason. To say im the lead and that applies to all of us and for me it was it. I didnt know what to say because i wasnt going to school and for some arts a clean toilet just to take. It i was really happy i. I didnt know want to tell him i wasnt going to school or no where to go and just had that chance to go to school or. One of the students mary comes from to come up for neighborhood in the canadian capital. Her parents were unemployed and unable to take care of her. To prevent the girls from entering prostitution and the boys from living on the street harriet brought them to the orphanage. For a long time harriet kept silent about her sacrifices she just one of the children to get on in life and contribute to their countrys development of the industrial countries and the state they were kids. They went to take it to whether they really need to thats where they can really have great impact on the society from where theyre coming from for me my primary aim is to guide them improve their conditions assist somebody help somebody yes everybody is complaining everybody is talking about this is there this is then so if you have the opportunity i think i should in this office about it ive got education ive got knowledge i have something to do with my home so i go back home i have a couple of businesses in my mind already i want to be down at the piano.

The young people have learned a lot in ukraine. They enjoy the market banter and the vendors who appreciate their company are happy to reward their haggling with good prices and even a present. Harriets days cleaning toilets are long gone. She now manages the african angel organization. Shes delighted to see how well the children have turned out. For izzy zip stand their independent theyre confident they have chances and i think they will do this they know exactly what to expect that makes me happy and proud no one can push them the ranting wish me luck i know exactly what they want even going over the. Next year james and richard are said to be the first in the group to graduate. And theyll always be grateful to harriet for giving them such a great start in life you know that. What can be done when the highly skilled of a country move abroad taking that knowledge with them according to recent statistics brain drain robs africa of as many as one third of its professionals each year and their talents a solely missed. To bridge the skills gap africas institutions recruit professionals from abroad including scientists and engineers. One of which costs the continent four billion u. S. Dollars each year. And yet very few highly skilled africans are returning home. Sign monday is sometimes amazed by what hes managed to achieve the architect has just won a contract to design this hospital in his home country of malawi one of the worlds poorest nations sixteen years ago he left malawi for england he couldnt imagine a future for himself here. Molly is quite a challenging country in terms of economy and business when youre bringing big. To do big projects. On a loan from the bank its almost like impossible while the Interest Rates are so high so huge. In my case what ive done is like to start small. Back in malawi a sign founded his own company in a rundown Industrial Area of long way. And nationally he ran a photocopy service. The business was a success despite the fact that half of malawis population lives on less than a dollar a day. Side began printing t. Shirts and then got his first major contracts with a profit he set up his own Architecture Firm my own still developing so there are some things that. In new york a. Doing that maybe is for the past seven ten years but if you bring them home you might be a new thing and mad that might be a new business idea. This is a gin c. In Johannesburg South africa helps africans return after studying abroad it has a database of highly qualified africans whove gone overseas its clients are African Companies that are looking for well qualified employees who know the continent well nearly three quarters of african graduates work abroad. Angel jones says her agency has brought back around a thousand people though the reason for returning often extends beyond the promise of a good job. When i get up. Every morning when i get up i sit. For both the candidate and angel theres a lot more going on here than just a business. Business on the continent in africa its a lot about relationships relationships relationships so they want somebody who might states might be international have been there for ten years but theyve still got those key people on the continent youve got those relationships business development. To market for all of those different things. Shelton says is someone that has these kind of contacts and a good job as an engineer but when he travels by taxi through zimbabwes capital harare hes clear about why he wants to leave the country zimbabwe is in a financial crisis and those who get the chance to leave usually do so. There are a pot holes everywhere even here in the capital and in the city suburbs money is exchanged state are now the new currency though many shops only accept u. S. Dollars i dont know for myself so if i live for my children yeah when i look at the education standards in zimbabwe the great bed in this a lot of that i guess right now with the situation in zimbabwe is just like almost like into mark. Shelton is one of zimbabwes well educated young middle class he says his country is in a mess hes been planning to leave for months many of his former colleagues have already gone and while he and his wife and their two sons lead a relatively good life here they dream of more ideally theyd like to move to australia but they have also considered canada or germany. The senators are going to make provision. Im able to save. The figure that i would be able to save. Then that means ill be able to sit in for maine for investment for my children and in the same time i will be able to if there are opportunities ill be able to start my own business shelton says he cant see any chance of that happening in zimbabwe he says no agency in the world could convince him to stay or even return later in life. Architects mundo on the other hand says returning to malawi has definitely been worth it for him and he says he didnt need an agency to convince him to return home. It was his wife joan who gave him the courage to come back when he left for england she chose to remain in malawi people have been killed by what hes doing so they were getting paid and their families are being supported because of what these do we have been here is there i think all these people who are waking and to him i dont know. Yeah. Joan and sign are sure their future minds in malawi and they believe that ultimately its africans themselves who will make a real and lasting difference to their countrys struggling economies.
