How to reduce poverty? Fix homes.
By Caci
The Problem.
In the Ted talk that I viewed, they talked about how to stop/reduce the risk of yunger children (5 and under)from catching these viruses because it can affect them when they are older, I thought this was very interesting. (Video located at the bottom of this smore)
He said that the people in the area weren't the problem, but that they were actually the one's who try to fix the situation, but that it was the government neglecting the situation, bugs, viruses, and terrible living conditions that where the problem. The people had no proper cooking equipment, no proper showers, and they where clueless that the way they where living was affecting their quality of life.
Down below are some pictures of what people think on the situation.
Raise awareness and understanding.
How can we understand.
How can we raise awareness?
We can even start clubs in our school. I know I have.
My club is called reduce the risk, it is a club where we go around the school or even the city and we post flyers to raise awareness. We also have a website, www. Reduce the risk. Com.
Our club meets inside the library every Monday and Thursday and we accept everyone.
This club is to raise awareness as said and reduce the risk of people getting viruses and other bugs that can harm us by raising money to build homes and proper living conditions in areas that need it. They way we know this is working is if people start to join and we see money being raised for families. Our goal is to build at least two homes for two families by the end of this year.
