The Aik Of Education On The Lack Of Education In Kenya

The writer on the contrary points out that the initiatives have not achieved the required target because some of them advocate for things which are not practical. Instead, she proposes that emphasis should be laid on educating people about safe sex and not trying to restrict and control individual liberty supposedly for the greater good. She believes the disease is not about poverty and gender related issues, it is behavior change. Many people in African countries get the virus because of having unsafe sex with multiple partners. This is why the rates of infection are not declining despite the billions being spent.

In contrast with Lincoln Parish’s population growth rate which is nearly stagnant is Molo Parish, which is in, Kenya, one of the countries in the world with the highest population growth rates. Over the years, the population has more than tripled, greatly increasing pressure on the country’s resources. Together with a widening income gap, this has eroded gains in education, health, food security, employment and income. Also, HIV/AIDS is most prevalent among young and middle-aged Kenyans in Molo Parish, the most productive segment of the population. The illness leaves orphans and households headed by women that are even more vulnerable to poverty. The burden of waterborne diseases, malaria and HIV/AIDS weighs heavily on both the country and Kenyan families, affecting income, food security and development potential. Life expectancy fell to 46 years in

The low income due to HIV/AIDS leads to low consumption of goods and little savings, which results in malnutrition, inability to combat illness and a lack of education and skills. The low capital worth, low

The health of many women in Algeria which is part of Sub-Saharan Africa in 1990 were impacted by the poor health care system because they lived in poverty. Poverty caused these women to lack essential needs to live a quality life. They lacked or could not afford resources such as supplies, health care professionals, and facilities for healthcare, clean water, and waste disposal. This ultimately affected the health of women and their children. For instance, lack of clean water and waste disposal facilities can cause health abnormalities such as cholera or typhoid fever which can cause devastating deaths. This is a healthcare problem because of the lack of funding. The lack of funding prevents antibiotics from being used to prevent death, and prevents African’s from being vaccinated against typhoid fever. Another example of how poverty affects woman’s health is unintended pregnancy, which is because they are more likely to engage in risky sexual behavior. It's part of the health crisis because it includes a poor health system, and a lack of education about proper nutrition and behaviors during pregnancy. Complications in these pregnancies due to poor nutrition and not visiting the doctor regularly includes increased infant mortality. Infant mortality in the slums of Nairobe is 91.3% while it is 75.9% in urban areas where there is a better developed healthcare system. The inferiority of poor Africans in

HIV stands for human immunodeficiency virus (Avert). It is virus that attacks the immune system, our body’s defense against disease (Avert). Individuals who become infected with HIV will find it harder to fight infections (Avert). HIV is located in semen, blood, vaginal and anal fluids, and breast milk (HIV and Aids). The most common method to become infected is through anal or vaginal sex without a condom (HIV and Aids). Other forms of contraction include using infected needles/ syringes, from mother to child during pregnancy, or breastfeeding (HIV and Aids). If left untreated, AIDS can evolve, this is when a person’s immune system becomes too weak to fight infection and can no longer defend itself (What is AIDS). Despite there not being a cure, an early diagnosis and effective treatment can enable people to live a normal, healthy life (HIV and Aids). This paper will focus on the HIV epidemic. It will compare and contrast HIV in the United States and in Kenya. The paper will review the specific populations affected, testing and counseling centers, funding and economic impact, and prevention programs each country is executing.

This paper will examine in-depth the causes and effects of poverty, economic decline, and disease (specifically HIV/AIDS), how they affect the education system, and how education may be a solution.

The problem that I am complaining and working to establish an awareness is access to education. Today, more than 72 million children around the world remain illiterate (humanium). 32 million of the 72 million are from Sub-Saharan Africa. Eastern and Central Asia along with the Pacific are also affected. Girls have the least access to education. They make up more than 54% of the uneducated population in the world read in (humanium). In Sub-Saharan Africa, over 12 million girls are a possibility not obtaining an education. Not having access to the school was a thing since education was a thing. Where I used to live (Afghanistan) when the Taliban took over Kabul (capital city) in 1996, they didn’t allow children

Women and Children of Kenya Are Subject to Violent Rapes and High Rates of HIV and Aids, Due to the Economic Crisis That Is Creating Corruption

Even though HIV has impacted the developed world, it has specifically targeted our impoverished communities and has decreased life expectancy in these areas to be an average of 20 years old. In addition, this chapter presents critical historical information and statistics to identify the origins of these diseases and the genuine numbers associated with it. This paper will explore HIV and AIDS as a disease. The first chapter will discuss the history associated with HIV and AIDS. The second chapter will explain the process of HIV and AIDS which includes the stages, symptoms and contraction. The third chapter explains the misconceptions and stereotypes of HIV and AIDS. The fourth chapter explores women and children with HIV and AIDS. Finally, the fifth chapter discusses the medical interventions and future at risk

Initially, extended research on the development of diagnostics and treatment should be prioritised, alongside the funding of scientific laboratories by domestic and international initiatives. Furthermore, national and international organisations ought to cooperate, so as to strengthen the health system of the affected states and provide urgent financial and material support in territories, which seek immediate attention. In addition, it is vital that men and women, the most and least privileged people and vulnerable groups have equal access to primary health care. Basic education on disease prevention, especially in developing and underdeveloped countries should also be enhanced. Only with the united action of all states around the world could we maintain lives of dignity, even when social integrity is

Overall, the crisis of HIV/AIDS, especially in sub-Saharan Africa is still a major issue. Perhaps the biggest factor is that developed nations have become fairly complacent when considering the disease, as not only has its prevalence dropped significantly in most areas, but treatment through anti-retroviral regimens has managed to increase an infected person’s lifespan to a level almost matching an uninfected person’s average lifespan. Those in sub-Saharan Africa face several key issues with this disease. A lack of education regarding HIV/AIDS and a lack of health care facilities and medication to combat HIV/AIDS are perhaps two of the largest. The country unfortunately faces an upcoming crisis, with the youngest generation’s parents and caregivers becoming too sick or succumbing to the disease before vital education, such as the ability to farm a landscape suffering from desertification, is passed on (Sowing Seeds of Hunger).

HIV/AIDS brings about hunger indirectly first through the economy. It is normal to have more than one sexual partner at a time in most sub-Saharan countries and this creates a “HIV super highway”. In fact, seventeen percent of the health-care workers in sub-Saharan Africa died from AIDS since 2005, and this is a lot considering only 480 people out of 48,000,000 people work in health-care in Tanzania. To detect HIV, physicians use a CD4 test, which uses expensive equipment, electricity, and trained technicians. Even after detection, the ARVs are too expensive to stay on for two long. If ARV resistance does occur, more expensive second-line therapy may be necessary. Even Peter Piot, the director of an AIDS prevention program, said “Projections now suggest that some countries in sub-Saharan Africa will face economic collapse unless they bring their epidemics under control”. Tanzanians, who do get treatment, hardly have enough money to buy food for a week, and with an average of five kids per family, most will starve.

Tropical diseases, especially malaria and tuberculosis, have long been a public health problem in Kenya. In recent years, infection with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), which causes acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS), also has become a severe problem. Estimates of the incidence of infection differ widely.

As human immunodeficiency virus affects millions each year, many civilians are without help and treatment. Poverty is one of the underlying issues of why the treatment is scarce. The United Nations Population Fund wrote that “many impoverished girls and women vulnerable to exploitation, including trafficking, early marriage, and selling sex. Many see sex work as one of the few options available to support themselves” (“Poverty and AIDS” n.pag.). Countries affected by poverty have limited income, which means limited employment. Many women and young girls sell their bodies in exchange for money and contract different infections and viruses. In Southeast Asian countries such as Thailand, HIV is significantly and rapidly increasing by each year. United Nation reports that “women’s educational attainment, work patterns, income levels, access to and control of resources and social roles – all have considerable impact on their health and the well-being of their children, in general, and on their reproductive health, practice of family planning and involvement in fertility decisions, in particular” (“Poverty and AIDS” n.pag.).

Human Immunodeficiency Virus/ Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (HIV/AIDS) is a health concern that has claimed millions of lives globally. Despite ongoing prevention efforts such as education and medical treatment, this disease and its associated syndrome continues to be a public health challenge. HIV is a pandemic disease that infects people in every region of the world. The borderless nature of this disease makes it an international health concern. The non-discriminator nature of this disease makes prevention and control of HIV/AIDS, an especially high priority for public health organizations; this disease does not discriminate against race or gender. Some countries bare more burden than others; HIV/AIDS is more prevalent and has higher mortality rates in developing countries. This has detrimental effects on third world countries that are already struggling with social and economic challenges, such as poverty, and poor infrastructure. In many places people with AIDS face social stigma, this adds to the challenges individuals with the disease encounter. This makes it difficult for the sick in many regions to seek medical help.
