What To Do To Eradicate Hunger In Africa?

In African countries millions of poor people go to their beds hungry every day. The live has become more difficult for them, because they have no resources available to cater for their wellbeings. As a result, most of people ask themselves about what to do to eradicate hunger in Africa. Although aid agencies provides them with food, the level of hunger is still high and continues to develop year by year. The food security situation continues to deteriorate as the people have no sustainable machanised agricultural schemes.

I recommend that the only best and effective way of eradicating hunger in Africa is to promote a sustainable agricultural schemes. This means that the governments and aid agenies operating in African Countries should provides enough farming machines to poor people so that they can use them for farming purpose. Providing poor people with farming machines to cultivate big farms can help eradicate hunger and improve food security situation in the continent as a whole.

The other means of eradicating hunger in the continent is to educate people about the new approach to maintaining food security. Giving people technical and professional skills can also play an important role in maintaining and improving food security in the countries of african contenent. It has been found that lack of adequate and quality education such as technical and professional skills has contributed to the worsening situation in our continent. Most of people in Africa have not been able to go to school or educate their children due to ongoing poverty.

I would like to call on the rich countries to recommend the best way in which hunger or poverty can be eradicated in Africa.I think sharing my experience with the world can help me find a right answer to this question raised by hungry people in my home continent.

Give a man a fish, feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish, feed him for a lifetime.

It's true and that is exactly what needs to be done, and what many people are trying to do...teaching villages how to fish and farm. But it is a slow process and the education that is being brought is a major part of it. Education is a long and drawn out process, I've been in it for the majority of my life. That's the problem with your machinery based solution. If we give people machinery to help farm, they need to know how to use it and how to take care of it. That's why education is so important. If we give the children education, then they will be the future. They will be able to grow and improve the way things are done, this just takes a while. These educational techniques to help them stand on their own are already being done, but yes I do believe that more needs to be done. It's a matter of getting people involved who know how to teach these things, and getting them funded since everything is expensive. I hope that we can continue to grow and improve this so that conditions can improve. What makes me sad though is that the rebel conflicts in many African countries destroy much of this process. These children that are being educated and growing a bright future are taken and turned into killing machines or forced to learn underground for fear of their lives. I only hope that we can find better ways to help them. Until then, I pray for your people.

And now these three remain: Faith, Hope and Love. But the greatest of these is love.

For the rest of the world to take of shades and lift that dirty curtain up, in order for everyone to have a good look would be a much faster solution.
