Aid to Africa?

Africa has been aided for years by Western nations, corporations or some independent organizations. It needed help and now still need help but of course not for all states. Some states which are already well run did not and do not need help. Also aid to them can be worse for them for their trade or their production. Because if they are aided, their markets fill with food of aid and their products sell lower price. So they would not have enough money for living.
Africa is a poor country at all sides like especially agriculture and breeding. Almost all their people are uneducated and face to lots of problems about health and life, it had crisis. Africa is helped giving money or aid but it is not true way to develop it. It cannot be helped for every time so it has to be helped growing, it has to be found ways to improve it or helping to improve itself. It was written in BBC News that nearly a trillion dollars of aid since independence in the 1960s, much of Africa is worse off now than it was then. In addition it was added in the news that Mozambique, Tanzania and Uganda were already receiving around 50% of their budgets from aid. So aid is not a shortcut to development. Only Africans themselves can change to Africa. But some aid should continue because there are states that need really help aid and still live in real poverty with disasters like drought, famine by unhealthy. Moreover I think one of the most important and necessary aid to Africa is about education and then another is about health. If aid is given being people educated, they help to Africa for development against poverty. Also health aid should be raised for states that have diseases like Aids, HIV. In conclusion, some regions of Africa need aid so aid to there should not stop. But, because of other regions in development do not need help, all aid to there should stop. If it does, stopping all aid to there actually help end poverty.

Good work, but you've highlighted the wrong sentence as your topic sentence: it should be "Africa is helped by..."
