  •  
    This website gives good information about poverty all around the world. (ex: Africa, Europe, Asia, America.) I read the one about Africa. There biggest struggle is hunger. Food prices have risen alot in the past couple years, so its harder then ever to buy cheap food.

Poverty Related Diseases - 0 views

  •  
    The article is about poverty-related diseases (PRDs) and how it is a mafor cause and cosequence of considerable povert in Developing Countries (DCs). The burdens of PRDs, especially HIV/AIDS, which today more than 40 million people are infected with AIDS, and many of them are in sub-Saharian Africa. Malaria, and Tuberculosis (TB), also TB remains the leading cause od morbidity and mortality world-wide, accounting for more than 2 million human lives every year. The annual global death toll of these three diseases approaches 6 million people and, in some African countries HIV infected 40% of the entire population. But the European Commision has propposed to support a long-term partnership between Europe and developing countries by providing $200 million for development of new medicines and vaccines to fight these three diseases. Thus the European and Developing Countries Clinical Trials Partnershipm(EDCTP) brings together EU Member States plus Norway, developing countries and industry in a joint effort to combat PRDs. Fighting thses diseases will also be one of the most effective ways to alleviate poverty and promote economic progress in DCs. My opinion of this article is that it's brilliant, knowing that U.S. is not alone and that countries are coming together to stop thess diseases and poverty problems alike. I hope this article would be an insperation to teh U.S. and other countries, that are facing poverty and the horrific effects of the grotisque "plague!"
