1. Poverty in Africa
By: Kylie Olson

2. Who??????
• Lack of food may not be a problem for everyone
but it does effect people and the way they think
and act. How would you react if you saw starving
children where you could see there bones
popping out they were so hungry and sick and its
to late for you to do anything to help. I would feel
pretty terrible.
• But there is something you, I the people all over
the world and the people in Africa can do to
help……

3. How Much????
• This Chart shows how much poverty there was
in the different parts of Africa as of 2009.
• As you can see the centre of Africa has the
least amount of poverty, that is because it is
the more rich part of Africa.
• But other parts you can see have up to as
much as 12,500 people living in poverty!!!!

4. What????
• Poverty is unhappiness. It is lack of needs.
• In 2009, 22 of 24 nations identified as having
"Low Human Development“.
• Over $500 billion (U.S.) has been sent to
African nations in the form of direct aid. The
consensus is that the money has had little
long term effect.

5. Why????
• I’ve done many posts on poverty in different
places. Many of the reasons are the same but
then again there is always one specific reason,
in Africa it is Personal sacrifice.
• The other reasons include , slothfulness,
tragedy (earthquakes, floods, wars, etc.), or
corruption.

6. What Can We Do To Help?
• There is many sites where you can support children and
families in Africa. You have probably seen the commercials
on T.V. I can’t think of the names of them off the top of my
head.
• There is charity's that sometimes go throughout the
schools that you can donate to but people who don’t have
a high income there is definitely other ways to help them.
Such as, just praising for healing, calling the government
and beg them to change their ways. Just one tiny thing on
your part can change a whole persons live.
