Help the Democratic Republic of Congo!


Help the Democratic Republic of Congo!

          Hello, this is IGL and this post is about the Democratic Republic of Congo. This country is a poor one. The country has 72.6 million people and the GDP per capita is $400.
          Years ago, the African World War involved the Democratic Republic of Congo with fights over natural resources. 5.4 million people have died because of the war. 47% of the people were children and people die of diseases unrelated to the war.
          Due to the increasing poverty, people hunt endangered animals like gorillas for bush meat. The national parks that help these animals have to exploit their water and food.
          The population for people below the poverty line is 71%. And people are trafficked to forced labor and forced prostitution. There are ways to help the Democratic Republic of Congo. You could:
  1. Spread the Word
  2. Start a petition
  3. Donate
  4. Adopt a child
These ways could always help this country. Help the Democratic Republic of Congo!
