Increasing Literacy In Central America

Money is needed to increase the literacy rate in Central America. This money would be focused on covering four main aspects. These would be transportation, facilities, school supplies and straight money to offset the loss of a family might face when a child can no longer work.
If a child lives in a rural section of the region they are less likely to go to school because there are none close by. If the government was able to supply transportation, to and from school, for those students, more children would be attending school and learning how to read and write.
A student cannot attend school if there is nowhere to hold classes. Therefore, money would need to be put into building the facilities for students to attend school in. While classes …show more content…
This may discourage the child from attending school simply because they do not have the preferred supplies to learn with. Providing the school materials would help those who cannot afford the supplies on their own, giving more children the opportunity to learn how to read and write.
Some parents may not want their children to attend school because they need them to help around the house. To offset this, money could be given to each family for their child attending school. Although this would cost a lot of money with no immediate profit, these children will eventually get an education and, in turn, a good job to support them.
Money is also needed to increase the life expectancy in Central America. This money would be put towards providing health care, food and water to the people of Central America.
Money put towards health care would be primarily used to buy supplies. Supplies are needed to treat the patients and without them, the service would be practically useless. Money for health care would also be put towards building the facilities to treat patients and to house recovering …show more content…
Volunteers to help with health care, and the distribution of food and water supplies would be a key aspect in the raising of the life expectancy in the region.
Doctors and nurses would be needed to treat the patients in the health care facilities. Without them, many more people will die of only minor illnesses. Along with that, people would be needed to build the facilities in which the patients would be treated in. If there are no clean and proper facilities, more people will suffer from infection.
Volunteers would be needed to prepare and/or package the food that is on its way to being distributed. Then there would needed to be people distributing the food and working in the distribution centers (food banks, soup kitchens). Finally, before any of this takes place, there would need to be people building these distribution centers so that the food can stay clean and
