In 1965 Uganda and South Korea were at about the same point on the developing nation scale, yet today South Korea is a strong, industrial nation, while Uganda is poverty-stricken and poor. I am going find why and how Uganda is such a poor country, we are going to be looking specifically at the education and the healthcare in Uganda.

My research has came mostly from the internet and my teacher, Miss Elliott, also helped me. I hope you find this topic as interesting as all of my classmates and I do.

ConclusionConclusionI mainly wanted to highlight that Uganda is in need and could use a lot of help from you. Their needs could be fulfilled just by us spending less money on ourselves. You could help save lives of children or adults. We can fight the poverty in Uganda by sending money. You can do anything if you are determined to help Uganda!
