Life has been a constant struggle for African families since the collapse of colonialism in the early 1980s. People living on this continent have had no choice but to live a hard life in order to sustain themselves.

One of the major problems in Africa is the lack of existing industry to engage the teeming youth in employment. Very few industries built by the colonial masters have survived the test of time due to the fact that the technologies and expertise required to manage such industries were never transferred to local Africans, who were engaged to work in these industrial set-ups.
