some facts about the 2 countries im going to


Uganda:
Uganda is one of the poorest nations in the world, with 37.7 per cent of its population living below the international poverty line of US$1.25 per day in 2009. Among these poor, women are the poorest.
Women work around 15 hours, as compared to men, who work between 8 and 10 hours a day. Women must submit to an overall lower social status than men. For many women, this reduces their power to act independently, participate in community life, become educated and escape reliance upon abusive men.
The infant mortality is 100.7 per 1000 live births and the maternal mortality rate is over 12 times higher than is normal for developed countries.
 



Illiteracy/ Analphabetismus: 33%
male: 24%
female: 43%

HIV: In the 1980s, more than 30% of Ugandan residents had HIV; this had fallen to 6.4% by the end of 2008, the most effective national response to AIDS of any African country.

Age:  0–14 years: 50,4 %
         15–64 years: 47,1 %
         65 years and older: 2,5 %


South Sudan:
The youngest country in the world. Founded in July 2011. After South Sudan became an independent nation, southern and northern negotiators were not immediately able to reach an agreement on how to split the revenue from these southern oilfields. Unfortuntately the two countries have drawn closer to a full-scale war in recent weeks over the unresolved issues of oil revenues and their disputed border.Please pray for those 2 countries.


South Sudan is acknowledged to have some of the worst health indicators in the world. The under-five infant mortality rate is 135.3 per 1,000, whilst maternal mortality is the highest in the world. The economy of South Sudan is one of the world's weakest and most underdeveloped.
