I wish we could go to Africa and go to EVERY single village in Africa, and tear down all their houses, buildings, and such. Why? So we could rebuild better houses that are more stable and yeah and build lots of other buildings to! And to put fences around the river so the crocodiles don't come near. And to give them more FOOD, and better clothing, more things to help with education, and MORE!!!! I actually wish we could do that to EVERY poor area around the world...!!!!! :)

In the world's poorest countries people often have larger families to help them farm, work or look after other family members in older age. As poverty is reduced and further development takes place in their area history has shown that birth rates reduce and people have smaller families. However, poverty won't be eradicated where people have no sanitation or safe drinking water.

if they have a good supply of water for life and otber stuff they dont need to have large familys they shoud decrase it becuase it still a problem with large familys and population and resources put togehter should have 1 child to delcine the population for a while where earth can sustain life for a very long period of time of enough resources to last for generations and staying at replacement lvl with out having very few people and too many people

also the population in africa cant keep growing forever soon anytime the there would be too many people and there would not be enough foor water or resourss for better quailtiy to share round that is involved in poverty poverty i say started with having population increaseing rapdily over 200 years it poverty started spreading slowly from 1750ad-1900ad and then it speeded up a bit more from 1900-1950 then to 2000 it poverty has spread rapidly 7x bigger spread than in 1950

i think in the future that i think the most will be sorted of this problem why not PEOPLE HAVE LESS CHRILDREN AND LET THE POPULATION DELCINE FOR A WHILE THEN TRYING TO KEEP THE POPULATION GROWING REALLY SLOW IS'NT THAT WHAT WE CAN DO BECUASE 1% OF THE WORLD HAS FRESH WATER THINK WE SHOULD TUNR THE POPULATION THE OTHER WAY ROUND BEFORE THERE ARE TOO MANY PEOPLE AND DEPLETE THE LAST SORCE OF WATER

also people in africa are having to many chrildren some having 15 thats too many that means the familys are being stupid to have so many villages in africa can turn into towns in 200 years
