USAID

From all the research I have been finding, it is not hard to conclude that Africa cannot handle the AIDS epidemic alone. Organizations, such as USAID, are doing their part in helping with the crisis in the US and Africa. USAID assists African governments by introducing more health, environment, and education ideas. They work hard to strengthen organizations in Africa and create a stable, growing economy. This organization realizes that education is key to prevention, so funds support teacher training. Text books and scholarships are given to the children. I can only imagine how special things like this mean to the kids. The USAID funds also help other organizations work on improving sanitation and conservation. There are many opportunities to be involved in the HIV/AIDS crisis. By spreading the word and doing a small part, things can change. The US government assists 47 African countries, but without the help of groups like USAID, our government wouldn't be nearly enough support.
