The One Thing

[Chan Island]

According to atlas, Burundi is the poorest country in the world. At less than 400 dollars per person, I can believe it. The central African country has held the title for some time, occasionally clambering slightly highly only due to a nearby country's misfortune.

Luckily, you can do ONE thing to improve their situation. It can be just about anything: a big infrastructure project, governmental change, societal reform. But the goal is to improve the situation for this country as much as you can.

What would you do? Whats the one thing that would most improve Burundi's terrible poverty?

Like most people in North America I know little to nothing about Burundi. I think they have some mineral wealth (gold?) and lots of conflict.

Presumably letting the Chinese open a mine would make them instantly wealthier. That would be my guess.

Fund schools, including technical schools.

Scratch serious ideas. Turn graphs showing national poverty into an NFT, and then sell it at auction, using the money to build a golden pyramid.

[Kalosia]

Change the way 'wealth' is defined.

Change its history.

I mean, all the other options that would really benefit them, I am just as incapable of doing.
