Children in Africa


Millions in Africa are at risk of starvation a s aresult of poverty. Children are at risk if the next rains fail and food does not reach them in time.Many African children that are starving live in the streets. They have no parents, homeless, hopeless, and desperate. These children are very young with no mother, no father, no home, and no food to eat.One of the main reasons there is starvation in Africa is political issues that is happening in many African countries. Political issues cause starvation and cause them to go for days without food.


War has also caused poverty for children in many African countries.War causes bad effects in the stability of economic and the social issues in Africa . The economic conditions of a country also contribute to children starving. Most of the African countries are struggling to meet the needs of the citizens. If the economic condition is very poor that a majority of the population lives below the poverty line average then the poor children around africa will face these effects.African families get food through farming and in recent years due to global warming droughts are prevalent and entire families struggle to put food on the table for their children.The HIV disease has also caused many children to lose parents meaning they'll have to suffer more of this poverty issue, end of education, and starvation will increase.
Think of these poor people in Africa,think about what is hapenning to them while your sitting at home on your computer!
How are they meant to live and find food?Many of them end up dieing,so think about them and try to spread those social justice issues to your friends and families and make your move to help those children survive.
