The fourth Day of Kwanzaa is about cooperative economics. The pooling of
resources as well as the decision to invest in businesses within a
community as share holders and/or customers. Let us say that there were
ten people who wanted to own businesses; stores, shops and offices.
Alone, none of these folks have the resources to actualize their dreams.
However, if they pool their resources as investments into the most
viable business idea, eventually they would have the resources to
support each business' start-up costs. As members of the community, if
we make the decision to spend our money at these businesses and support
them, we are keeping our money within the community. Both of these are
examples of UJAMMA.
