What is the issue/problem?



Misheel's :

They say that 9/10 of the 42,000 deaths that happen every single week from unclean water and unsafe environments are to children under five years old. Most of these diseases can be stopped. The UN guesses that 1/10 of the global diseases can be stopped just by improving water supply and sanitation.

Supplying our Earth takes up 90%
==== our clean water to be used but most of the people on the Earth don’t have access to them. ====

8/10 people that don’t have access to clean drinking water live in rural areas. About 884 million people in the Earth can’t find clean drinking water.

It’s not childrens health hat only get affected but also education and their relationship between their family. Girls usually are the people who bring the water. Each bucket carries about 1kg of water, and they would walk for 3-4 miles. These jobs aren’t easy and they would horribly damage your neck, head, and spine which can give problems to the woman’s pregnancy and childbirth.

In Africa, people there use most of their time walking miles for clean water, they know the water isn’t clean but that’s the only way to survive more than a day. Because of time spent by  walking and resulting diseases they don’t go to school but more work and care of their families.

Girls have more greater danger than boys because while your walking for your water you might get harassed or sexually assaulted. Bucket full of water while your goi ng back to home will give a great injury to your spine.

Collecting water is not only physically stressful but it also wastes time, because of that girls mostly don’t go to school. Kids who do go to school have bad attendance to school and usually get kicked out of school.

Aman's:

HIV AIDS Damages the immune system and attacks them which can cause infection. So protective blood cells have a hard time to stop the disease from spreading

The word AIDS is Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome.

In some countries the prevention to AIDS is limited in some countries. The most countries that is detected the most of the HIV disease is Africa.

Poor Countries has the most infectious of this kind of disease because they don’t have good sanitation and doesn’t have good drinking water.

HIV stands for Human Immunodeficiency Virus.

800,000 people die ever year from malaria. 90% of the people that die from malaria are in Africa. Malaria is preventable and curable. Six hours of waiting could cause death to a sick child. "This World Malaria Day – and every day - around 2,000 children will die from a mosquito bite," said Anthony Lake, UNICEF Executive Director. " In Nigeria, 97 percent of the population is at risk. Most of the children that die are 5 or younger.

Malaria is spreading. There is malaria in Brazil. They are mostly in the cities near the Amazon. One out of twelve people get malaria.

Malaria is a serious and sometimes a fatal disease. It is usually found in the tropical and subtropical parts of the world. Malaria is a parasite. it is a microscopic organism called a Plasmodium and it belongs to the group of tiny organisms known as protozoans. Anopheles mosquitoes are the mosquitoes that carry malaria.

When the mosquito bites, it enters the host’s blood stream and goes to the liver. At the liver, the malaria multiplies and then goes to the blood stream to invade red blood cells. They infect red blood cells and make them release malaria. This occurs about every 48 hours.

The free parasites infect any mosquito that feeds on the host. Then they go to other bodies.

Malaria is in 100 countries and more than 40% of the world is in danger
