Below ten percent of Sierra Leone's population has electricity (CIF)! This same issue affects a large portion of Earth's population and in turn, causes other issues. This issue is present in most poor countries and specifically Sierra Leone for a civil war. By having limited access to electricity, cooking food is tough, and communication is severely limited. Creating temporary solutions and inspiring larger ones can combat this problem. Kelvin Doe has helped make power in poor countries closer…

Introduction Rural populations are faced with many unique problems that those in urban areas don’t deal with. Some of the causes of these rural health disparities are access to healthcare, socioeconomic status, and health behaviors. Resolution is difficult, as there are many factors that intermingle, causing a more complex issue. For example, access to healthcare isn’t simply about being able to get to a clinic or hospital because of location, it is also related to being uninsured, which is…

an unequal spatial distribution of income sources between rural and urban areas in developing countries (Satterthwaite and Tacoli 2002). Infrastructure and services tend to be concentrated in urban areas, but housing is easier to access in rural zones. While rural livelihoods still depend on natural capital, urban areas provide more labor market options (Tacoli 1998, 2006).

During 2012 and 2013, just 92 out of the country 's 381 metropolitan areas lost their population. (https://www.census.gov/geo/reference/ua/urban-rural-2013.html).

Cost of Water in Rural China Water is one of the most undervalued resources that are essential to human beings, industries and agriculture.

Roosevelt, enacted the Rural Electrification Administration to give citizens in rural areas the opportunities that electricity and power provide.

viewpoints, ethics, and everyday life. When teens don’t have access to something, they will rarely be exposed. If rural teens can’t get their hands on alcohol and other drugs they won’t abuse them. There were no significant differences between rural, suburban/small metro, and urban teens for lifetime use of alcohol or any illicit drug.

work long days and even longer nights. Many rural area rescue, police, and fire departments are not taken care of like they should be. Many don’t think 9/11 was handled correctly. Research has shown if things were handled differently than many lives could have been saved. Training and the proper skills are not brought to the surface for both rural and large city communities. Did you know each year about 105 firefighters die while on duty? Or 69% of rural emergency places do not have the proper…

early boyhood down to his ripe old age. Poetry was his vocation, but farming was his avocation.
