Greetings Model UN,
The topic of this year’s conference deals with the United Nations Development Program also known as UNDP. The topic eradication of poverty is an issue of this year. First to begin with poverty can be referred as ‘‘being unable to afford basic needs” do you know in Africa some people are not able to afford a meal a day, people mainly in Africa nowadays have to starve and die because they lacked the means of satisfying their most urgent needs due to crop failures, insufficient mastery of nature, and lacking medical knowledge. In spite of the poor economy in Africa some families in countries like republic of Congo and republic of Somalia can’t afford a meal a day. However the causes of this incident (poverty) is due to the differentiation between us humans , poor and the rich, the week and the strong, and the best and the worst even though we all are giving the right to equality by nature we still face this issues that have been recorded since the beginning of creation and birth.
In the order hand Nigeria being the most populous country in Africa has also battled this great evil since it’s civil from 1861 -1865 which caused a lot of lives and destroyed a lot of property then came the origination of poverty which also took a lot of lives but due to the working together of it’s people they were able to fight it but this issue of poverty still occurs in their country till today. In all study countries, children from poorer families are less likely to go to school. In India, 48 percent of children living in ultra poverty attend school, compared to 81 percent of children living above the dollar-a-day. Despite a global trend poverty has a high increase in the rural areas.
It is because of these issues that we the delegates of Nigeria would love the support from each country that will be willing to help us fight this incident that have been in existence for centuries (poverty) this issue that have deprived a lot of people there freedom to eat, drink and feed properly, Nigeria might be Africans most populous country but there are not the riches so we would appreciate at least a 1$ donation to help battle this incident by providing for the poor around us and giving them these basic need that will help support them also that will help build some houses that will help provide them a place to reside and help fulfill the right that we all are giving by nature(equality)
