In Uganda they have 1.2 million people with Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV). HIV causes Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS). A disease in which there is a severe loss of the body's cellular immunity, greatly lowering the resistance to infection and malignancy. This is just one example of the many diseases and sicknesses in Uganda.
Not all are incurable, some so easy for us in America, Europe, and Canada to cure. I'm not saying were the only ones out there with good medication plans out there (they are examples). One of the major, curable, sicknesses in Uganda is malaria. Malaria is an intermittent and remittent fever caused by a prozoan parasite that invades the red blood cells. There are medications to prevent Malaria, if we do something as simple as donating a couple dollars to a charity or a organization we could help them a lot.
