Many humanitarian foundations and companies have made progress in reducing the amount of poverty in Africa. These foundations include but are not limited to:

Kids In Distressed Situations (KIDS) put 99% of their income towards charity.

Concern Worldwide US is a charity group that is mainly concerned with the bottom 40 (in terms of HDI) of African countries.

Action Against Hunger's primary focus is to end global hunger, and their charity group has helped Africa significantly.

Thanks to help from humanitarian aid and charity groups, the African rate of extreme poverty has dropped from 56% in 1990 to 43% in 2012.

In the past decade, the fastest growing countries in the world were all African.

Africa is very enthusiastic for new technology. 6 million people in Africa have mobile phones, and a new STEM college is being constructed in Africa.

In the 1950's, only four countries had their own independent government, and the rest were colonized by western civilization, where they used the resources and contributed to the poverty stricken continent.

Over the last 30 years, the poverty in the entire world has fallen sharply, but Africa's poverty has barely changed.

In Côte d’Ivoire, 30 years of success was possible thanks to the realization that grass root farmers could become wealthy from their own exports, rather than subsistence farming.

There are many things that caused Africa to be such an impoverished nation. These things include the exploitation of oil-rich African countries by large companies and corporations who do not have to pay taxes for the oil they are digging up.
The authoritarian rule of many African countries is also one of the many reasons that poverty is very prevalent in Africa. The authoritarian rule is often based off of religious beliefs, and therefor it restricts some people from things like getting proper education to getting a job that they would be more efficient at.

Africa is the most impoverished continent in the world, with approximately 34% of the entire population impoverished. Africa's poverty issue is "a scar on the world's conscience," and it should be pretty obvious that something needs to be done about the issue. Here are some facts and solutions to their poverty issue.

Our children's charity in Kenya since 1971

SOS Children's Villages in Kenya is supporting children within their community and in their familiar environment. Apart from giving children a new home in our villages, SOS Family Strengthening Programmes enable children who are at the brink of losing family care to grow up in a caring family environment.
FREQUENT DROUGHTS DRIVE MILLIONS INTO STARVATION
The Republic of Kenya's population is 44 million and its capital is Nairobi. The country has been referred to as "the cradle of humanity" since scientists discovered some of the earliest evidence of man's ancestors on Kenyan soil. Its impressive ethnic diversity is an important element of Kenyan culture, on one hand, and a source of conflict on the other. Violence between tribes has contributed to internal displacement in the country.

Pressing challenges in present-day Kenya include high unemployment, crippling poverty and high crime rates. The tourism industry has been an important source of income and has become the country's primary hard currency earner over recent years. Abundant wildlife and scenic landscapes make Kenya a major safari destination that attracts thousands of foreign visitors every year.

Although Kenya has recently seen economic growth, around 11 million people are still undernourished and a major part of the country's population is unable to meet their daily calorie requirements. Floods and droughts continue to have a severe impact on the availability of food, particularly in semi-nomadic zones. In the drought-prone north, access to medical services is poor and many families cannot meet even the most basic needs such as running water, sewage systems and sanitation. Around 50 per cent of the Kenyan population face a life in poverty, with a substantial part living in conditions of extreme poverty.

In 2008, a wave of post-electoral violence hit Kenya. The crisis led to over 1,000 deaths and massive displacement. Hundreds of thousands were forced to flee their homes and 75,000 children had to take shelter in over 100 camps for internally displaced persons. Life expectancy at birth is only 55 years. Apart from the HIV/AIDS pandemic that dramatically affects Kenya, widespread infectious diseases in the country include typhoid, hepatitis A and bacterial diarrhoea.

MANY CHILDREN ARE AT RISK

Kenya ratified the African Charter on the Rights and Welfare of the Child (ACRWC) and various conventions, but some issues remain unresolved, such as clear guidelines regarding corporal punishment or the minimum age for marriage and criminal responsibility. Thousands of children in Kenya are deeply affected by persistently high levels of poverty. The well-being of young children is particularly at risk as undernourishment and child mortality have increased. A growing number of children live without parental care or at the brink of losing it. At 6.3 per cent, Kenya also has one of the highest HIV prevalence rates in the entire world. Nearly 1,200,000 children in Kenya aged 0 to 17 have been orphaned as a direct result of AIDS.

Another public health concern for young children in Kenya continues to be malaria, which kills around 26,000 children under the age of five every year. Child mortality is high at 84 per 1,000 live births. An increasingly high number of households in Kenya are headed by children. Female-headed households and child-headed households are more likely to experience high levels of poverty. Young children are often obliged to work instead of being able to go to school as they have to put food on the table for an entire family. In Kenya, an estimated 130,000 children live in the streets as a result of poverty, family neglect and social discrimination. Many of them are forced into exploitative child labour and eventually even commercial sex work. At present, an estimated 10,000 children have been caught up in the sex trade, particularly in the country's coastal regions. Many children resort to prostitution as a way to make a living.

SOS CHILDREN'S VILLAGES IN KENYA

Kenya was one of the first African countries where SOS Children's Villages became active. The national Kenyan association was founded in 1971, primarily because of the ever-increasing number of orphaned and neglected children in Kenya. SOS Children's Villages has been running SOS Family Strengthening Programmes in the country, which enable children who are at risk of losing family care to grow up within a caring family environment. To achieve this, the organisation works together with families and communities, empowering them to effectively protect and care for their children. At present, we are supporting Kenyan children and young people by providing day-care, education, vocational training and medical services in five different locations. Children whose families cannot take care of them can find a loving home in one of the SOS families.

Seventy-five percent of the world's poorest countries are located in Africa. These countries include Zimbabwe, Liberia, and Ethiopia. The Democratic Republic of Congo is actually considered to be the poorest country in the world with a GDP of $394.25 in 2013.

In 2010, 414 million people were living in extreme poverty across sub-Saharan African countries.

One out of three people in sub-Saharan African countries are not eating enough food to live a healthy life.

In sub-Saharan Africa, 589 million people live without electricity. 80 percent of the population relies on wood, charcoal, and dung in order to cook their food.

37 percent of the 738 million people who do not have access to clean water live in Africa.
