storyboard Bibliography 5.2 vanadium, lithium, tin, and platnium group metals. || HDI is measured on a scale of 0-1, so it is not high or low. || Zimbabwe overall is a very poor country as you can see from the chart above. Zimbabwe has an extremely low GDP and it's unemployment rate is 80%!!!!! It is in need of a lot of help according to all of our research. It has just gotten a new government, so it's economy is very unstable, and has received a lot of political issues. It also has the problem of a very tragic outbreak of cholera. And also it has suffered horrible widespread hunger. As you can see Zimbabwe is suffering from some pretty serious issues. Since Zimbabwe does have an unstable economy, it is unable to pay for services like medical help, schools, and clean drinking water and food. The living conditions are very unsanitary, causing sickness to spread much faster than it does in America and other developed countries. Think about how fast the flu has gone around this month. Imagine that, but in a place where people do not bathe, do not drink good water, sleep in the same room as their whole family, (keep in mind that the families are much larger in Zimbabwe than they are here) and are malnourished. Zimbabwe is in need of inexpensive, yet good help. They need doctors that are willing to work for little or no pay. Half of Zimbabwe's population (60,000) has been stricken with cholera, and 760 people have died. Zimbabwe needs medical help now, or it could become a world wide problem.
