The country of Sudan is in the northeastern part of Africa. As shown in the picture to the right.
About Sudan The Sudan region is dessert like and extends from the Atlantic coast to the mountains of Ethiopia. Sudan has many wildlife populations decreasing because of war, to much hunting, erosion, desertification and droughts. They also don't have proper supplies of portable water. As stated in (Geography of Sudan). Causes of Hunger/Poverty In Sudan
One main problem for Sudan and why many of it's people are hurting is because there is very little rain that comes in. This then hurts the crops they have. If none of their crops get water they will not come up and then they have no money to help buy food and other supplies. It is a chain reaction that is the worst of all. In Sudan there are many different organizations that are trying to help but it still just doesn't seem like enough. In one part of the country this is all because as these agencies shift food out of the town, Akobo, the families begin to move into the town center and build huts there and wait for the next food distribution. While this happens there is no one planting crops. Soon this will make a large cycle of unending need. |
Solutions
To help start getting rid of hunger we need people who are willing to help the people of Sudan go back to trying to farm more and finding new sources of water for irrigation systems. But by doing this it will take years of preparation, hard work, and dedication. It also may shorten the supply of fresh water in Sudan. |
