HIV AIDS

AIDS is one of the worlds most deadly diseases, and has had a massive impact on many of the poorer countries of the world many of which are in Africa. The causes of this disease is largely due to the fact that many poor countries can't afford birth control for their citizens. People who live in these countries are also usually unaware of how different methods of birth control work. Educating the people of the worlds poorer countries about birth control could significantly decrease the amount of people who are infected. Lots of poorer countries also have a lack of doctors. This is because many people who have worked hard and studied to become doctors would rather go to work in other countries because they will get payed more. There is medication for AIDS but it is extremely expensive and people in poorer countries are unable to afford it. The Stephen Lewis Foundation is an NGO that's goal is to give money directly to countries in Africa that are devastated by AIDS. They support 15 countries in Africa which are the hardest hit by AIDS. The money that this organization gives could be used to afford the expensive AIDS medication so that people can begin to recover from this deadly disease.
