Child Sponsor Mauritania
With a life expectancy of some 53ys and with a population literacy rate of 51%, poverty is a major issue in Mauritania with most children just eating once a day. Over one hundred and nine children die before their fifth birthday out of every thousand compared with just three in say a country like Spain. Locusts also plague the area, often wiping out entire harvests sending food prices rocketing.
Much of the work undertaken by agencies in Mauritania focuses on the provision of water supplies and health care together working with farmers to develop sustainable farming techniques that can maximise crop yields.
