Part Three:

The topic that our group has picked is poverty. We are going to focus mainly on trying to get money for food in Rwanda, Africa. We know that poverty is a huge issue in most places in Africa, but we decided to pick Rwanda to do our research on because we already know that more than 70 percent of their citizens live under $1 a day, which is more than most of the other countries. We also want to help raise awareness about this to people all over the world. Even though there are some organizations working on this, there are not enough and not enough people are trying to help them because they don’t know that this is an issue. Though there are a lot of other countries in Africa, we personally think that Rwanda is the one that needs the most help. Out of all the countries in Africa, Rwanda is the country with the lowest interest rate, thus making it apply to poverty.By raising awareness, we will be helping the people in Rwanda, and more people will donate money, food, etc. We hope that soon we will be able to lower the percentage rate of people who gain barely $1 a day by helping them by earning money for them, which they can use to get food and other resources that they need. We really hope that this issue can be stopped.======

=
The organization we chose to focus on was “Rwanda Hope”. We chose it because it main goal is to help poverty in Rwanda, which is where we are focusing on. Also, they want to help give them money as well, so we have similar goals that we share.======

=
They are doing several different things. One thing they are trying to do is to get people to “sponsor a child”. By that, what people do is send money, letters, clothes, and other necessities to children in Rwanda. Also, they are helping kids who don’t have enough money for education to teach them.======

=
The thing that I like about this program is how they set their plan and the date that they are going to achieve the goal. I like their missions and their thinking about the people who are poor in Rwanda.======

=
I think we can help and involve with them by donating money. We can start fund raising and raise money for the people in Rwanda so they can have more money and they can get rid of poverty in their country.======
