The ongoing problem in Rwanda is one that cannot be ignored. The amount of disease and lack of resources is outrageous. In the article, Major Problems Facing Rwanda Today, They talk about how the people have a problem with Malaria, Chollera, and Tuberculosis. These diseases are treatable and can be helped, but they don’t have the resources necessary to treat them and help get rid of it.

These people can be helped by donating these things to prevent and treat people for the diseases that are spreading there.

That way there is nothing that can lead to a crime or some bad situation that would affect the FDA or our non profit in some
