The world is always talking about how poor Africa turns out to be, so I thought it'd be a good place to start a blog.
Major problems facing Africa today,
A child dies every ten minutes from AIDS and extreme poverty, often before their fifth birthday. Every year six million children die from malnutrition before their fifth birthday.
More than 50 percent of Africans suffer from water-related diseases such as cholera and infant diarrhea.
The people drink from the stream and the stream serves as water for all other purposes. The major problem is that the stream water is not purified and it contains so many germs and bacteria which cause so many diseases in villages.
That's true and horrible! Africa is really a poor country. It's sad to hear that people there die all the time from things that can be prevented. There's many organizations out there, but it doesn't cover all the people nor all the areas.
ReplyDeleteThese are horrible statistics. I wonder how they compare to other 3rd world countries. Also, I think we should keep in mind the "Africa" is made up of many countries and that they might be quite different in their poverty rates.
