Rural development in South Africa (Simunye project)

Rural development is a great idea as it shows people living on the streets and people striken by poverty to create a life for themselves and to not rely on the government to provide certain aspects such as housing and food, it teaches people that through hard work you can create a better life for yourself and to inspire people to do the same, if more projects such as this are created then South Africa shall overcome and become a second or even first world coutry due to the already high level of technology aleady obtained. Doing such projects shall keep people away from crime and corruption and teach them the right ways. It teaches the inhabitants of the land to use resources that they find insignifigant and use it to create goods, in this case bricks via mud. If people are willing to rather create opportunities for communties than give them what they need then people would stop relying on the governments money and learn to be creative.
They also learnt a new skill in which they can now go use to obtain job opportunities. Now if the people of South Africa are willing to create a couple of these projects then it will have an overflow effect and will begin to spread  like wildfire(a tipping point of kind) and if that does happen people will learn new skills to gain work or people of the rural communities will produce job opportunity for others, creating a higher employment rate and get South Africa into a MEDC(more economically developed country). Doing such prjects will also allow for people to stay in a certain community and not allow them to over populate the already crowded main cities of Southern Africa. The question is whether the people of South Africa are willing to give these communities a chance to create something bigger.
