Too many people still die everyday from illnesses that can often be prevented, treated, and/ or cured. Health is intricately related to poverty in a painful cycle- poor housing and sanitation, malnutrition, and lack of access to medicine lead to poor health
Global Poverty has come to be known as the single largest killer of children under the age of 5
(Global Alliance for Improved Nurtition,2011). Although the government has been trying to
figure out solutions to this epidemic, poverty is a serious so called "disease" resulting in
malnutrition. Throughout this website, I specify on Third World Countries, specifically the
country Africa and will provide you with a clear definition of the term Third World Countries
and how they might be the targeted communities for poverty, the top major diseases resulted
in poverty, their complications and a general idea of complications of the health crises, and if
the health risks of poverty something that could possibly be fixed. Towards the end of the
website I hope to have an impact on your views of Poverty in Africa to hopefully help me and
as well as others advocate to help make a change. Lets all make Poverty History!
