Scientists are busy working on solutions to large problems that need to be solved for the benefit of nations around the world. In the meantime, there are many equally important, small-scale problems facing the people and villages of many small countries, including Africa.

Government policies in Sierra Leone that exclude pregnant girls from attending school are short-sighted. Supporters of these policies do not seem to recognize the long-term effects of their decisions on the economy and society as a whole – an education could potentially help these young mothers become assets rather than burdens. Lack of education is a major obstacle that is preventing young mothers from becoming productive, tax-paying members of the work force.

Technology has transcended poverty, race and economic conditions to become a driving force in the lives of people across the world. More people around the world now have access to the internet and mobile phones. As technology increases, the socioeconomic effects will improve the lives of impoverished people in Africa.

With the prevalence of mobile technology, the education sector has been revolutionized by offering students and educators alike more readily available resources. Additionally, interactive learning materials, and other effective ways to collaborate with each other even when they are away from the classroom have been integrated into daily workflows. In developing countries, such as Africa, smartphones and tablets have paved the way for learners to receive better education, equal to the ones in the more advanced nations.

Sierra Leone, a country in West Africa, faces several challenges. You may have heard of a few of these challenges, like the aftermath of the horrific Ebola epidemic. Maybe you have heard about the children soldiers who wield guns bigger than themselves. But there is another epidemic facing Sierra Leone—the rapid increase in the number of teenage girls who are pregnant and unwed.  
 

We often hear of the deprivation and starvation in Africa, but did you know that Africa has the potential to be a major supplier of agricultural goods? Africa has the capability to feed its citizens, and more. Unfortunately, too many African countries lack the leadership necessary to make that happen.

Agriculture was once an abundant commodity in Africa. Agricultural commodities were a major export for most sub-Saharan countries in the late 1960’s. Three decades later these countries were importing millions of tons of food each year. What happened?
 

Public Relations Officer in the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology yesterday stated that about 50% to 60% of girls that are currently pregnant are those who do not want to be in the school system.

According to Brima Michael Turay, the teenage girls have no business being pregnant if they were serious about staying in school to acquire quality education.

He revealed that the ministry has recorded a total of 3,017 pregnant school girls across the country over the past nine to ten months.

The technology behind 3D printing was developed in the 80's, and it was originally used to make prototypes of invention ideas. [1] Since then, 3D printing applications have expanded to virtually every industry. With increased popularity, the cost of owning a 3D printer has dropped, and the latest models can print much faster.

The sun was the first source of power to humankind. It is the largest object in our Solar System and provides the earth with unfathomable amounts of energy. In one hour the earth receives more energy from the sun than the entire human race uses in a year.[1] From the sun we get solar energy.

     Energy boosted economic growth in many nations after its development. Energy also left many nations in the dust because of its price. Nearly 1.3 billion people do not have electricity according to the “The Guardian.” Most of these people are located in the Sub-Saharan Desert and in rural areas in Asia. But why doesn’t the Sub-Sahara Desert have access to electricity and why haven’t there been any improvements?
