Child Poverty in Africa - the facts

• 200,000 child slaves are sold every year in Africa. There are an estimated 8,000 girl-slaves in West Africa alone. (sources: BBC 5 October, 2001 & Anti-Slavery Society)
  
• About 120,000 African children are participating in armed conflicts. Some are as young as 7 years old. (source: Africa Children’s Charter)
  Children account for half of all civilian casualties in wars in Africa. (source: Africa 2015)
• One in six African children dies before the age of five. Most of these deaths could be prevented. (source: Africa 2015)
  
• Nearly one third of children in Sub-Saharan Africa are underweight. (source: UNICEF)
  
• In sub-Saharan Africa, measles takes the life of a child nearly every minute of every day. An effective measles vaccine costs as little as $1 per child. (source: UNICEF)
  
• Between 12 and 14 million African children have been orphaned by HIV/AIDS. (source: World Bank/UNICEF)
  
• Nearly 2 million children under 14 years old are HIV positive. (source: UNICEF)
  43% of children in Sub-Saharan Africa do not have safe, accessible drinking water. (source: UNICEF)
  
• 64% of children in Sub-Saharan Africa do not have adequate sanitation. (source: UNICEF)
  Only 57% of African children are enrolled in primary education, and one in three of those does not complete school. (source: Africa 2015)
  
• For every 100 boys there are only 83 girls enrolled at primary school. (source: World Bank/UNICEF)

For their srvival they feed anything at their disposal, failure to that death is knocking their door.

Just imaging this picture, it explain the consequence of poverty when the poor are facing hunger to death while others have surplus food, abused by the owners. It is sadi that at every munite one person is dying with hunger.

President Robert Mugabe here again in Cairo- Egypt do you believe? See the picture. Picture by Mzee Kidevu.

Kung'ang'ania madaraka inakuwa aibu kwani ameku miss tena.

Kwa hisani ya Che Mponda

Burning people to death becuase of poverty consequences

They die becuase of fighting out their boundary! The SA people should condemned by all who hate inhuman acts.

Wonderful picture

Consequenses of Poverty

Organ trafficking:
As global demand for live transplants keeps growing, the shadowy organ trading business is rapidly expanding, dominated by unscrupulous brokers and facilitated by inadequate national legislations, widespread corrupt practices and a general lack of public awareness on the extent of the trade. The illegal trade in body parts is largely dominated by kidneys because they are in greatest demand and they are the only major organs that can be wholly transplanted with relatively few risks for the living donor. Organ trafficking accounts for around 10 per cent of the nearly 70,000 kidney transplants performed worldwide annually, although as many as 15,000 kidneys could be trafficked each year. China, India, Pakistan, Egypt, Brazil, the Philippines, Moldova, and Romania are among the world's leading providers of trafficked organs. If China is known for harvesting and selling organs from executed prisoners, the other countries have been dealing essentially with living donors, becoming stakeholders in the fast-growing human trafficking web. Trafficked organs are either sold domestically, or exported to be transplanted into patients from the US, Europe, the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, and especially Israel. Ten years ago, organ trafficking was largely seen as a rumour. Since then a number of countries (Brazil, South Africa, India, Moldova) have taken decisive steps to go after the traffickers, criminalise the trade in human organs, or ban transplants from living donors. Nonetheless, this has come at the risk of driving the trade underground, or shifting it to other countries. Arguing that laws and policies are insufficient to effectively curb organ trafficking, Organs Watch, COFS and other non-governmental organisations say it is essential for civil society to be actively engaged in this combat so organ trafficking is universally recognised as a medical human rights abuse and a "body tax on the poor".
