Carolyne on Eradicating poverty and hunger

 

I am Carolyne Kiplagat a deep Kenyan girl. I grew up and studied in Kenya.

I saw what poverty is all about. Can you imagine that 85% of the Kenyans live below 1 dollar a day? This is what I myself experienced all the days I have been in Kenya. This is majorly due to the gap between the rich and the poor. The Rich are becoming richer and the poor becoming poorer.

Most families are starving to dead due to lack of finance. They do manpower jobs so that they can get their basic needs. Even with this others lack work to do thus end up dying due to lack of food.

Children are not send to school and most of them end up becoming a disaster to the surrounding since they become bad people due to lack of care from parents. This is a problem to the nation because most of them engage in criminal activities.

The urban areas are the worst due high growth of slums.

From my own point of view, without eradicating poverty and extreme hunger other millennium developing goals cannot be achieved in this nation. Kenya will never develop if this is not majorly emphasized.

I am also talking on behalf of Africa because this is one  of continent which lags behind.

Indeed it is time to rise and fight against poverty!!
