The United Nations’ Knowledge Platform declared that more than 33 million of the 57 million primary school aged children who aren’t educated are in Sub-Saharan Africa. This is a major issue since the children are the ones to carry out the future of the elders who left it behind. Children pick up what the old leave to maintain the rate of success. We are here to form a blueprint of goals to help children in need like what other famous African role models did like Graca Machel. Despite not being trusted

Eastern and Central Asia along with the Pacific are also affected. Girls have the least access to education. They make up more than 54% of the uneducated population in the world read in (humanium).

Six million lives have been lost in the war from either direct combat or disease and malnutrition. Congo is both the largest in Sub-Saharan Africa and one of the richest African nations. It has trillions of dollars’ worth in natural resources like diamonds, gold, cobalt, copper, tin, and tantalum.

It started when the Europeans arrived to Africa and set up trading posts. In the late 1800s and early 1900s the increase of European power took over most of the continent.

France wanted to create jobs for those who fought in the Napoleonic Wars because they didn’t have enough jobs in France

Africa was identified as the world's poorest inhabited continent. We waste over 30 million pounds of food a year. That food that we waste can go to African. To help people in need of food. This year, nearly 9 million children younger than five years old will die needlessly, more than half from hunger-related causes. Chronic hunger affects more than 925 million people in the world and is, in and of itself, a potentially deadly condition. Poor people do not have the resources—whether land, tools or

It is the opposite case for some other countries, mainly those of the sub-Saharan part of Africa- Congo for instance.
