Sudan Africa: Third World Country STRICT PARENTAL ADVISORY

This morning I was wondoring what place to put down for "Travel Thursday" and since I am always finding ways to help others I decided on this one. Sudan is a Third World Country that desperetly needs the help of so many people. " 85% of all people who live in Sudan are below the absolute poverty level ( which means their lives are in danger because they do not have enough money to provide food, water, and shelter for themselves)" . Part of this is lack of education, debt, ongoing war and lack of food which will be explained more down below. Part of the reason that there is a lack of food is that they rely on farming to find food to eat and in the past two years due to lack of rain there has been a lack of crops and also with ongoing war " Food is being used as a weapon. War and starvation have resulted in the deaths of 1.5 million Sudanese deaths and 2.6 million face starvation currently". In 1995 the country of Sudan were in debt by 18 billion dollors grant it I couldnt find a more recent amount on the web but I would assume that it is a lot higher now. As for Education its not very high and this causes less jobs so they get less pay. " 43 percent of all men read and only 12% of all women." I was having trouble finding more then one organization that would help them. But the one that I did find was Unicef and I will put in the link at the bottom of this blog. "Everyone has the right to a standard of living adequite for the health and well-being of himself and his family, including food, clothing, housing, and medical careand necessary social services, and the right to security in the event of unemployment, sickness, widowhood, old age, or other lack of livelihood in circumstances beyond his control."
