Over the past 30 years, Kenya’s poverty has increased. Instead of Kenya having a good economic conditions, it’s a country with very low income which reflects its poverty, although it is now improving. In Kenya 31 million people are in poverty out of around 41 million. Kenya is a developing country with the main parts of the country being rural. The people who live below the poverty line in rural areas are usually small farmers, herders and farm labourers.

Unemployment, low wages, poor conditions of roads, heavy costs of health and education, poor administration and low production of agriculture are only some of the reasons of poverty in Kenya. Poverty is also affected from such diseases as HIV/AIDS, malaria and waterborne diseases. Politicians did affect poverty due high spending on things the country doesn’t need.
4
Since the end of 2007, Kenya has endorsed a new political system to help eliminate the poverty, although it is no way near gone, Kenya’s new parliament has stayed strong, adding balance and structure to the country. UNICEF is an organisation who help countries in Africa, Kenya included, by sending supplies over. Sponsor a child is another organisation who help children in developing countries in the world. Help Kenya Project is an organisation who donate products for schools and libraries to help students in their education.
5
All programs are working fantastically to help eliminate poverty in Kenya. The political system is staying strong which is a positive. All the donations from each program have caused Kenya’s GDP to go up by around $50-60 per person. Education and Healthcare is improving with the donation of money for new facilities and schooling products/equipment. Sponsor a child is giving children from Kenya more opportunities due to the fact that the people who are sponsoring them are donating them money, clothing, food and water.
6
The United Nations have helped Kenya during their drought by supplying the country with food and water due to shortages. A lot of donating organisations are based in America and Australia, but do get donations from all around the world. World Vision is probably the main organisation who help countries in need.
7
Funding would help to eliminate poverty because it would give the country some money to spend on upgrades and new facilities. Donations would also help, either food, water, clothing or technology would be a major boost for the people. Healthcare would be the biggest boost due to large proportion of Kenya’s population are fighting a disease. An estimated 1.5 million are living with HIV.
8
Funding would assist the government to be able to invest in housing, farming, hospitals and schooling. Everyone would be able to live in a healthy environment. Students would have the opportunity to learn in a safe environment and could also be given pathways for further opportunities in their lifetime. Additional funding would create more jobs and higher pay rise for workers Technology would also be upgraded to help people’s lifestyle.
