Aids In Africa

  Aids has struck parts of Africa several times during the 20th century. Disease in Africa still exists as we speak, and will continue until something is done. It has done less well at explaining why disease persist, how they occur, and how they differ from the equally serious problem of chronic disease. While Africa’s population is growing rapidly, it still has more than enough fertile land for growing food, but lacks access to resources-whether at the individual, household, community, or national level.  The drought has contributed to the lack of food in Africa.  This is from poor health planning.  There has been a severe shortage of early rains for the past three years and most years rain does not arrive at all.  This has set back the food production cycle.  War has also caused hunger in Africa.  Trucks needed to distribute food have been commandeered for military use.  Some countries have difficulty getting food aid into their country.  For example, Ethiopia is land locked and its two main supply ports.  The main causes for Africa’s disease is population, drought, poor agricultural planning, political instability and ineffectiveness and the mismanagement of natural resources.  This has left millions of starving people throughout the world.  There are solutions to this worldwide problem.  A sophisticated early warning system has been set up to predict rainfalls and crop production so demands for food can be made in good time.  A solution for fighting disease that I have concluded is to set up an organization where people contribute medicine every week. To locate these volunteers I would make calls to various offices, companies, and houses that would agree to support the hungry. Each person would be responsible for bringing or donating food every week. These volunteers would be on call at all times. This may seem like this is unrealistic, but I know that I would be able to make people understand the importance of keeping young children, adults and elders from dying of famine and hunger.   Every week a certain amount of food will be given to each and every country.  Volunteers would then pass out the food to various people.  The volunteers would make sure that no one is left hungry before they leave.
