Causes of
Poverty (Health
Care)

As of 2009, there were

only 729 physicians
registered in Mali, which is
less than one doctor for
every 10,000 people.

This shows that most

people dont have a lot
of doctors in Mali
causing bad health
care, because of the
lack of equipment and
doctors in Mali because
of poverty.

This matters because

if someone gets sick in
Mali they dont have
Africaa
doctor to go to
because of the
poverty, which causes
higher death rates.

Causes of
Poverty

Around 15 percent of
children in Mali suffered
from acute malnutrition,
even before the crisis.

What this means is that

out of all the children
living in the country of
Mali 15% of these
children are not a
healthy weight for their
age and height. Most of
these childrens are
bodies are almost skin
and bones from the
lack of food and
nutrition they get
because they dont
have enough money for
what they need.

This matters because

the children cant do
much for themselves
Wfp.org
to solve the issue and
they struggle to get
the food that they get
to eat and when they
are able it isnt much.
Considering a lot of
these children suffer
from acute
malnutrition this means
that the more children
that are born the more
they will suffer.

Causes of
poverty

In general, the principal

causes of poverty are
harmful economic systems,
conflict, environmental
World Hunger
factors such as drought
and climate change, and
population growth (WHES
2015). Poverty itself is a
major cause of hunger. All
are very important as
causes of poverty and
hunger in sub-Saharan
Africa.

This means there isnt a

lot of water there in
Mali and Africa itself
for food and water for
Mali. Which means
there is barely any
money to boost the
economy.

This matters because

the economy will never
get better if things in
Africa and in Mali stay
like this.

Poor Healthcare

The capital, Bamako, has

two large hospitals and
there are hospitals in
other main towns and
cities. However, the low life
expectancy in Mali reflects
the generally poor
standards of healthcare
available in much of the
country.

This means that

considering Mali is in
such bad poverty they
arent able to have
much hospitals or
healthcare centers
around and even for
the ones that are
around they still dont
get the best medical
attention and care that
they need.

This matters because

Mali has poor
healthcare and there
is barely any
healthcare for the
poor or people who
are in poverty.

Helping the
Cause

WFP expects to assist

around one million people
this year in Mali. A little
over half are families
affected by the conflict,
while the rest are people in
the southern part of the
country receiving
nutritional support for
their families while they
work on
community-building
projects.

This means that the

W.F.P (the World Food
Programme) wants to
try and help most to all
the people living in
Mali,Africa and try to
help them as much as
possible. They want to
help the families and
everyone there so they
can be better.

This matters because

the WFP (the World
Food Programme) is
trying to help the
poverty in Mali.

Helping the
Cause

In addition to providing
food to families displaced
by the fighting, WFP is also
giving them cash, which
they can use to buy fresh
meat and vegetables. That
will give them the flexibility
to choose what foods to
buy while giving a much
needed boost to the local
economy.

This means that W.F.P

wants to help all the
families that have been
affected by the fighting
and violence in Mali by
giving them cash,food,
and other supplies and
necessities that they
need in order to
survive better. They
are giving them a
chance to boost their
economy for the better
and good foods for the
people and families.

This matters because

trying to help the
poverty in Mali.

Helping the
Cause

WFP is transporting food

to northern Mali using a
cross-border operation
from Niger as a
complement to food
arriving from the country's
south. In March, WFP
provided food assistance
to some 125,700 people in
northern Mali, in addition
to 152,300 people from the
region who've fled to other
parts of the country.

They are bringing

foods that will be
helpful and the best for
these people and doing
all they can. This shows
that by March they
ended up providing
food to over 125,000
people in the northern
part of Mali and 150,000
people who went to the
other parts of the
country.

This matters because

the WFP (the World
Food Programme) is
trying to help the
poverty in Mali.

Healthcare

In Mali, despite a certain

political normalization, the
armed conflict that has
been under way for almost
two years makes access to
health care difficult for
people living in the north.
The ICRC is helping them
by maintaining its support
for certain health
facilities.

This means that even if

they took away the
certain political
normalization and the
armed conflict that has
been going on for
almost 2 years now its
still hard for them to
access health care
since its difficult for
the northern people.

This matters because

Mali has a bad
healthcare and they
dont have a lot of
buildings and people to
help the sick.

In sub-Saharan Africa, 589

million people live without
electricity. As a result, a
staggering 80 percent of
the population relies on
biomass products such as
wood, charcoal and dung in
order to cook.

This means that

considering that they
dont have much money
they arent able to get
certain things as in
electricity and other
necessities.

This matters because

most of the population
doesnt even have
electricity like the
United States and
other parts of the

Water in Africa

Of the 738 million people

globally who lack access to
clean water, 37 percent
are living in sub-Saharan
Africa. Poverty in Africa
results in over 500 million
people suffering from
waterborne diseases.
According to the U.N.
Millennium Project, more
than 50 percent of
Africans have a
water-related illness like
cholera.

This means that they

arent able to even
afford clean water to
drink so this is what is
causing there diseases
and people getting sick
and dying.

of water on a daily. So
