If they stopped having twenty kids so three can survive, maybe there would be enough food to go around. ( Just a thought ).
We do care but what is Blair & Bush doing about President Robert Mugabe who is a corrupt, brutal, murderous thug who wrecked his own country’s economy? Africa is now poorer today than 25 years ago. I don't want to see anyone suffering but somehow I think we are wasting our time until the leaders are sorted out. We also got to remember that in Africa alone over 800,000 doctors & nurses are now working in the UK NHS Hospital so they can't treat their own country which is not helping because of the shortage in the NHS.kendor said:
can't keep chucking aid money etc at them, its all to waste. governments need changing, corrupt leaders need sorting out. and the whole of africa needs trillions of condoms dropped from the sky.
you may be able to feed a family and alleviate their suffering, but the next generation?? millions more would be in suffering. so until the root cause is dealt with, govts and condoms, we can't do anything.

AIDS, overpopulation and corruption. These are the three problems Africa faces. Condoms and education can sort out the first two, but corruption at this level can not be sorted out without some major events.
Because of the depth of the corruption, it simply isn't possible for one man to stand up and say "this isn't right, I'm going to start my own political party and promise democracy and an end to corruption!"... because he'll end up being killed by those in power. It's not even possible for a whole town to do that, they'll end up with their water poisoned or their food supply cut off.

Kind of correct---i am no know it all-----but i do make sure me and mine come first and after being **** on too many times when i have put others first i feel well justified now in my thinking. I dont know your personal circumstances but i am sure you have a rosey life and everything is great in Kendor land so you have loads of spare time and money to help the needy, but please if it is your view keep it to yourself and let us make our own minds up.
Some facts for you-------Up untill the turn of the 1900's the population of the Earth was around 1 billion and had been that way for at least 2 thousand years, it is only with mans intervention that the population is now over 6 billion and rising largely due to medical inventions and knowlege.
Even in the modern countries we had extremely large birth rates and equally large infant death rates with an overall lower life expectancy.
So you see modern disasters in the third world are natures way of clearing things up.
Now if we mess around with things anything will happen.
We learnt not to have so many kids and the result was those who were born were stronger and lived longer and also had a better quality of life.
Perhaps as others have mentioned educate them not to have so many kids then they may learn instead of starving.
