Executive Summary on Africa

The Millennium Development Goals was created by the United Nations and there main goal was to get citizens to make their government keep their promises of a no poverty world by 2015. In many ways the MDG organization is working and improving in almost all povertish countries, except in Africa. The MDG had eight main goals to achieve by 2015 that are in reach, but in order to achieve them, we need cooperation from all countries. More than a billion people live off of 1 dollar a day. Every day 28,000 children die from poverty related causes. This could be eliminated if the U.S gave more money, because we are the wealthiest country, however we do not give that much. All of the goals basically are trying to end hunger, give more rights to women, stop the infant and mother from dying at birth, better education, cleaning up the environment, fight HIV, AIDS, Malaria, and other disease, and create better global unity. What we could do to fight these problems would be to send over medicine with better doctors. Most women in Africa deliver their child with no professional help, which can cause the mother and infant to die. More than 500,000 women die from complications of delivery and pregnancy every year. If we send fertilizers and seeds to villages, they would produce more resources, which means that children could stay in school instead of having to do labor. To combat Malaria we could send over 10 dollar nets which could save huge number of families, which causes no harm to us, but helps someone else. Clean water would produce healthy plants and people wouldn't die from dirty water. The goals are in reach and all as we need to do is get our government to follow through with promises, because we do have the money to support this cause and it wouldn't affect our country in a bad way, but would eliminate a huge problem.
