Poverty
Why it's the biggest problem effecting Africa
What is the problem? Who/what does it effect?
Poverty affects the people of Africa. Because most people are poor, they can't afford basic human needs like shelter, food, water, health care, and education. To provide for their families, many girls and boys go into prostitution, and the rates of prostitution continue rising in Africa.
How did Poverty start in Africa?
Because of the lack of school in Africa, kids didn't get the education they needed to pursue in life (get a job, provide for a family, etc.). That means that the generations of kids wont grow up to get jobs and make money, and because people aren't making money, they cant pay for the things they and the country needs.
Why should this problem be solved?
The economy in Africa isn't good because many people don't have jobs so they cant pay taxes to the government.
How can we solve this problem?
If people in America and others around the world set up fundraisers and ways to raise money, we can use that money to build schools and teach the kids of Africa.
Doing this, will impact Africa greatly. By having educated kids in Africa, when they grow up they will be able to provide for themselves and their communities.
