Aid to Africa
Africa is now in need of a minimum standard of living. It needs the basic goods and services so as to go on living and improve lives. Africa is a country which starvation boundry and underdeveloped. It has lots of problems. For example; basic levels of Education, Health, Water, and Economic Empowerment, Natural disasters, Explotation, for Food aid. Every year, three million babies die in the first week of their life, while 3 million are born dead. More than 100 million children do not go to school. Diseases is diffusing, non-stop. In Botswana 39% of the population is HIV positive, and life expectancy has dropped to 39 years, according to UNAids. Deaths are increasing every other day. According to UN Population Fund, a woman dies every 60 seconds due to pregnancy related causes, equal to 60 deaths per hour or more than 500,000 every year.But poverty and hunger is very important than other needs since the number of hungry people is growing by 5 million year. These people go to bed every night as hunger and more than half of Africa is in need of urgent food assistance. The situation is so bad. Because of this, food aid must do immediately and then other projects should be used for problems. Something has to be done for these people by political will or other powerful authority. In addition, giving aid feels fine but there are better ways to help Africa. Why to find different ways are necessary about aid to Africa? For instance," Despite nearly a trillion dollars of aid since independence in the 1960s, much of Africa is worse off now than it was then." Because of this, I don't believe "only aid is not solution for Africa." As a result, Africa needs to find a permanent solution to develop and make progress by itself. Until Africa gets that solution or resource, aid should be done and must be never stopped.Sources: http://www.bbc.co.uk/, www.africaaid.org/about.htm,
