Ghana, is a country bordering Cote D' Ivoire, and Togo. The country consists of about 23 million people, mostly which are homeless, or live on the streets. and is one of the more popular countries in Africa. The country, is a little more wealthy, and more densely populated then some of the others. Ghana is in need of economic assistance, and aid. There are many many kids living on the streets, without educations, because the government there is not very wealthy. Ghana also needs health aid, in which the government is also not wealthy enough to support. The government, cannot provide vacancees for the people to use. A way of resolving this, would be if there GDP, or the economy there was better, then they might be able to provide, medicines, more educations, better sanitation, and it would help prevent more people from getting sick, and getting diseases. Ghana is in an big need of our assistance, and everyones assistance around the world. If more people joined in together, the country will become better sanitized, and many more people will grow up with educations. If many people around the wold, help the countries in Africa, we can make the whole continent, a better place, one step at a time.
