Mali, an African county, is located in west region of Africa. Mali needs help mainly with its economy. The Per capita GDP is very, very low and 30% of its population is unemployed. Another thing that needs to be helped is the infant mortality rate, currently it is 104 infants out of 1,000. Another thing that needs to be improved is the average age people are expected to live to, 50 years. Not only does Mali need help economically but also in the quality of life. Right now Mali is experiencing a famine so there is a huge shortage of food. Mali also needs to raise the literacy rate, now it is every 46 people out of 1,000. Despite all the things above the population is over 10,000,000. This is bad mostly beacuse the youth of Mali has a higher chance of starving, getting a dieases or getting HIV and AIDS. Mali's current condition definetly needs to be improved, and Mali can't do it by themselves they need help.
