REAL LIFE STORIES IN AFRICA

   A really sad stories of children who are facing the problem of child poverty. We couldn't be immune to the stories      because they are very tragical.

 

Fatima, a mother who lives in Angolan village had to spend up to four hours each day collecting water from the river. It was a dangerous trek. One year, seven of Fatima's friends were attacked by crocodiles. Fatima fears the crocodiles. But she fears water-borne diseases more. In 1999, the worst happened: Fatima's first child, Isabel, died after repeated illness with diarrhea. "A mother must take care of her children," Fatima says, "but we cannot do that when we have only dirty water."

1- Contributing factors:

For many environmental and social reasons, including crowded living and working conditions, inadequate sanitation, and disproportionate occupation as sex workers, the poor are more likely to be exposed to infectious diseases. Malnutrition, stress, overwork, and inadequate,  can hinder recovery and exacerbate the disease.


    1.2- Contaminated water

Each year many children and adults die as a result of a lack of access to clean drinking water and poor sanitation. In  Sub- Saharan Africa, and parts of Latin America, women are required to travel long distance in order to access clean water source.
Clean water is necessary for cooking, cleaning, and laundry because many people come into contact with disease causing pathogens through their food, or while bathing or washing.

  1.3- Poor nutrition

    Malnutrition, the immune system, and infectious diseases operate in a cyclical manner: infectious diseases have deleterious effects on nutritional status, and nutritional deficiencies can lower the strength of the immune system which affects the body’s ability to resist infections.


  ^1.4-Poverty


Many diseases that primarily affect the poor serve to also deepen poverty and worsen conditions. Poverty also significantly reduces people's capabilities making it more difficult to avoid poverty related diseases. The majority of diseases and related mortality in poor countries is due to preventable, treatable diseases for which medicines and treatment regimes are readily available.


^{2- Diseases}
   
 Diseases of poverty kill approximately 14 million people annually. Gastroenteritis with its associated diarrhea results in about 1.8 million deaths in children yearly with most of these in the world's poorest nations.


    2.1- Malaria
  
 Each year, about one million malaria deaths happen in children under the age of five. Children who are poor, have mothers to with little to no education, and live in rural areas are more susceptible to malaria and more likely to die from it.

3- Consequences


Diseases of poverty reflect the dynamic relationship between poverty and poor health.
They also perpetuate and deepen impoverishment by sapping personal and national health and financial resources.


   3.1- For woman

Women and children are often put at a high risk of being infected. Women also have a higher risk of HIV transmission through the use of medical equipment such as needles. Because more women than men use health services, especially during pregnancy.

 

Millions of children today have no access to basic services such as clean water, health care, schools and hospitals. Whether they live in big cities or rural villages.

 They never have time to grow, learn, play and feel safe.  

 

 

 

 A sad story child poverty in Africa

 

I want to share with you this sad video that can make you feel sad.

 

AFRICA THE WORLD'S POOREST CONTINENT

           Poverty is something that is           unfortunately  common in today’s world

 

Africa has the richest natural resources and yet we are poor and stagnant in development. Africa includes some of the poorest countries in the world.  

 In Africa, poverty is something that people can not avoid no matter how hard they try.

 

What causes poverty?

 There are many reasons why this would occur, the most prevalent are:

 

•   -Corruption:  It occurs in Africa when the governments do not use money responsibly and instead use it for themselves.

 

 

-Lacks of resources in the region

Poor land utilization:  Some people just use the land to grow crops which are just enough for subsistence survival.

•  Nothing goes to the market for sale.

 

• Civils wars and unending political conflicts:

Africa is popular for its civil wars, either between neighboring countries or within the same country.

 

•   Poor infrastructure:

Africa has a very poor infrastructure set up. They have poor roads, railways and water systems.

 

•  Diseases and poor health:

When a household is affected by any of the diseases, the little resources are spent on treating the sick.

 

 

      

 These are some posible causes of poverty in Africa. 

                          WHAT IS THE TRUE?

• NOT EVERYONE LIVE IN A BEAUTIFUL HOUSE



• NOT EVERYONE EATS A MEAL 3 TIMES A DAY



• THEY LIVE IN AN EXTREME POVERTY

 



• EACH YEAR, MORE THAN 8 MILLION PEOPLE AROUND THE WORLD DIE BECAUSE THEY ARE TOO POOR TO STAY ALIVE.

 



GO HUNGRY EACH DAY.

CHILDREN CAN NOT GO TO SCHOOL

BECAUSE IT IS TOO EXPENSIVE.

 

 

 

 

MY COMMENT:  

 

 

 IT IS AN  ENORMOUS PROBLEMATIC AROUND THE WORLD. IT MEANS THAT NOT ONLY IT IS HAPPENING IN AFRICA,  PROBABLY CLOSE YOU ARE A POOR FAMILY AND YOU DO NOT KNOW IT. A  PERSON WHO HAS SOMETHING TO EAT, TO DRESS, A HOUSE AND AN AMAZING FAMILY IS COMPLETLY RICH DOES NOT MATTER IF HAVE ENOUGH MANEY OR NOT.

EACH GOVERMENT COUNTRY HAVE TO ERADICATE THE EXTREME POVERTY AND HUNGER AND ALSO REDUCE THE PROPORTION OF PEOPLE LIVING ON LESS THAN A DOLLAR A DAY.

POEMS ABOUT POVERTY

 

Poverty looks like
bare feet; skin and bones
a silent sob, and one too many loans.

Poverty looks like
cupped hands; nickels and dimes
a stifled shiver; and multiple fines.

Poverty looks like
sadness, whimpers and tears
a quiet escape; because we let it become
too late.
