SAVE OUR SOULS!!!

Did you know that Africa is on the list of the world's major issues?

Earlier today, as I surfed the net, I came across this piece by GVI. The reality of Africa's needs was overwhelming.

A number of worrying world statistics seem to point to a severe need for humanitarian support in Sub-Saharan Africa. This region has the most child deaths and persons living with HIV in the world, the most extreme rates of child stunting, the highest number of road traffic deaths and the lowest numeracy and literacy rates. Its population is also the fastest growing, which means more and more people are affected by these issues every day. Some of the widest gaps between rich and poor individuals as well as men and women can also be found in Sub-Saharan Africa.

It got me thinking, after all these years, why is the progress recorded in Africa so insignificant ?
What do you think is the root cause of the problems stunting the growth of Africa? And how can we combat it?
