Hunger in Africa







Africa is the second most-populous continent, around 922 million people live in Africa.
We all heard news about this continent in TV, everybody in developed countries know what’s happening, but almost no one does something to reverse the situation.
Every year, hundreds of kids become slaves, die before their fifth birthday from water-related diseases such as cholera and diarrhea. Can you imagine?
For us, who never felt truly hunger it’s almost impossible imagine a kid dying of malnutrition. Well, the truth is that it’s happening RIGHT NOW…

Why African people face food shortage?
I suppose because wars, political corruption, diseases like HIV and an enormous population growth.

What can we do to change the situation?
There are a lot of organizations that help these people, but they are not doing enough to end hunger.
We have to work together and help all the countries who need us.
