Children in Africa don't have access to medicine or even one of the things we take for granted, clothing.

it all starts with clean water

'Nearly one billion people do not have access to clean, safe water .With unclean water sources miles from villages, many african members of a community are forced to spend hours each day simply finding and transporting water. The container often used to collect water weighs over 40 pounds some even 70, equivilent to a five year old child.Can you imagine being forced to carry a five year old for over three hours each day. it was estimated by the United Nations estimates, that Sub-Saharan Africa alone loses 40 billion hours per year collecting water'
the littlest things we take for granted aren't available for everyone.
so, check out this website to find out what you can do to help.

The websites worth a visit for information about any donations you can make to african poverty are;
http://www.knit-a-square.com/African-poverty.html
Hiv Aids is a common dieseas fought by many children in Africa,
By contributing to knit a square provides these children with the warmth care that we take for granted.
The children of Africa facing this awfull diseas would do anything just to live a simple life, although for most they do not have the opportunity to do so.
please take a look at the above link and think about it, would it really be that hard.
because really, it wont ruin your life to donate such a little thing to children in need .

Think about it..

One in six children die before they reach the age of 5.
Think about it, most of these deaths could be preventable... 
Can you image the conditions they are going through each and every day.
One in two live on less than a dollar a day.
over 50 % do not have access to hospitals or doctors. 
In Sub-Saharan, Africa, measles take the life of a child nearly every minute
It costs as little as $1 for a vaccination for one child, A little donation is a big impact.
Over 12 million children in Africa have been affected by HIV/AIDS.


But yet they're all so so so happy! 
And we are so so so hard to please , when we have basically everything.
