Problem:
The problem in East Afica is there is a huge drought. The drought has gotten so bad that they don't have enough water to grow crops, they hardly have enough water to keep themselves alive. Since they have no crops they are also dying of hunger othor than dehydration. The hunger is that is now lingering across eastern Africa is called famine. Famine is a widespread scarcity of food, caused by several factors including crop failure, population unbalance, or government polocies.
Solution:
A way we can stop this tragity is work together. A group organization that helps is called Merlin. Merlin has over 35 health facilities in Africa. They have helped over 420,000 people and working on helping a lot more to nurture them all back to health. You can donate to the Merlin charity at www.merlin.org.uk they use the money to buy food and get water for the Africans.
From donations they have helped a 4 year old girl named Phoebe who was suffering from malaria. Malaria is a potentially fatal disease that is transmitted to a human or animal hosts by the anopheles mosquito. After four months of help in a Merlin clinic Phoebe was aloud to leave and go back to her home. You see if we just help a little bit it can help a whole lot.
