THE FIGHT TO HELP CURB MALNUTRITION IN AFRICA

in hive-187593 •  3 years ago 

Hello steemians,

Malnutrition has been a big problem in africa especially in small towns and communities that are deprived and drowned in poverty. This becomes a serious health challenge for them as they strive to battle various diseases like kwashiorkor, beriberi and so on.

Our governments don't offer much help on that part. But always tell the youth to venture into enterpreneurship. Truth be told, many individuals are striving to make ends meet. However, if you don't find a good niche for your products, you can't make a living.

This is what has led to those very poor standards of living in many of these communities. Thus, it is very important that we support as much as we can.

Fortunately, with the current rise in the activity of NGO's in these areas, the support has been laudable in recent years. NGO's such as Self-Help International are really helping in this act and helping to better the lives of many of these kids.

The child that has poor health is already as a disadvantage in life due to the lack of nutrition in the right proportions. Constant intake of such meals would have a long term impact on them and may even affect their level of thinking.

It is therefore incumbent upon us to donate as little as we can towards this cause that has haunted many deprived communities for a long time.

Thank you for stopping by.
