Hunger In Africa

Improved Essays
People in Africa have been suffering for quite a long time. However, people tend to not have any interest in helping them. People in Africa mostly suffer of starvation and the lack of health. Many Americans ask themselves why hasn’t there been any solutions to this problem.
The fact is, people are ignorant enough to not pay any attention to what people in Africa suffer.
Therefore, I have a solution to this problem. If they could get the tax to be lowered for imported goods from Europe to Africa, Africa’s government could spend a lot less on imported goods and make goods for their people a lot cheaper. People in Africa make $1.25 an hour a day. African’s struggle to get food on their table for them and their families. Another way of helping

This would be another reason to help people in Africa help set food for their families in need. Another way we, the people, could help would be by forming more organizations in little towns and cities, or even programs to help guide those orphans and homeless in need. If people could help st these organizations, people in Africa could be one step closer to have a set meal on their table every day.
However, these solutions would not end hunger in Africa right away. It would take sometime before people could say starvation in Africa has ended. These solution would take time to adjust and to help every single person. These solutions could be established if people were not so arrogant and selfish towards themselves. If people could actually care enough to help the people in need and willing to support those who would want it, Africa could slowly be progressing. The problem is people simply do not care about anyone who is irrelevant to their lives, but these people suffer in hell for no main reason. These people who fight and struggle working hard every day do not deserve a life less than ours. It costs a single child meals for his family just so that he can attend school. Children strive for a better life every day trying to

It would be a lot easier if people could have their minimum wage raised to have a better chance of buying food for their families.
Evenough increasing minimum wage would help in a great way, the reduction in taxes of imported goods would support in making food products a lot cheaper and a lot less expensive. If my main three solutions were to work, Africa would be evolutionizing in a great way for their country. A lot more people and children would live a lot longer and they would be able to at least serve a proper school for their future. No human being should be limited to what they should be able to accomplish. People in Africa do not deserve to die one day only being they are not able to have a warm meal everyday.
However, an average American makes $8.25 an hour as minimum wage, and even so, they are barely able to provide food for themselves for at least a day. People in Africa get payed
$1.25 a day, and with taxes high on imported goods they are less likely to even have 1 meal a day. There has been organizations trying to help Africa’s problem in the past, but they are working at a very slow rate. There are at least less than 100 programs and

    Individuals in poor nations have a tendency to have less access to health care services than those in better-off nations, and inside nations, the poor have less access to wellbeing services. Despite the fact that an absence of financial resources or data can make hindrances to getting to services, the causal relationship between access to health services and poverty keeps running in the other direction. At the point when human services are required however is postponed or not obtained, individuals health worsens, which thus prompts lost wage and higher social insurance costs, both of which add to poverty.1,2 Deprivations that lead to sick wellbeing are basic in creating nations, and the poor in creating nations are especially at risk.3.
