Poverty Alleviation And Sustainable Livelihood
Almost one in four Africans is hungry: At 23.2%, the population of Africa has the highest rate of under-nourished people. A total of 233 million people is affected by hunger and every third child in Africa suffers from the effects of malnutrition; (e.g. under growth inhibitions or mental underdevelopment).
According to the World Bank estimates, 47 to 50% of the total populations live below the poverty level. This region is thus the poorest region in the world.
The causes of the hunger are manifold: Environmental disasters, war, the effects of climate change, a rapidly growing population, public debt or diseases such as AIDS and malaria.
It’s upon this that ACCP with the help of our international branch coordinators in Ghana West Africa collaborated with the Royal Seed Needy Home (RSNH), an Orphanage Home in Ghana to support 300 less privileged children from age 1 – 16 years by feeding, clothing and given them shelters.
