Poverty in Africa

My new topic for poverty is Africa. Did you know, in Africa less than 1 person out of 5 has electricity, out of 1.000 inhabitants 15 have a telephone line, and 7,8 out of 1.000 surf on the Internet. Africa is the poorest continent in the world. The problem in Africa is poverty, which results in other things such as no clean water, no washrooms or schools! Many natural and human made disasters such as famines, droughts and civil wars have hit Africa. Some other problems in Africa are pollution, crime and power (electricity) shortages. In this post my purpose is to raise awareness for world poverty.

What you can do about poverty...

Every one can help with poverty, donate old clothes to a shelter, raise some money or help with a soup kitchen. If you are doing something to help the world in any way*, send me a post and a story about what you did and you may be metioned in my next issue.
*Help the world in any way not just poverty.
