An Illness in Africa

Many countries experience diseases that wipe out a part of their population. However, Africa deals with this everyday. Africa is one of the poorest countries in the world. Illness devastates many families and individuals. Aid has been offered to Africa many times and has not been able to help a large number of people.

This means that the money that they receive is not being used to benefit the citizens.
