Poverty limits the ability of families to obtain sufficient food and contributes to high levels of malnutrition with long-term adverse effects. Further, poverty is linked to the health status of children through the inability of families to secure adequate health services and engage in health promoting behaviors. Finally, poverty is related to children’s educational attainment and future employment in that it affects decisions about school and child labor.
For those living in poverty the effects are severe. For poor children, poverty associated problems include an increased risk of stunted growth, anemia, and overall ill-health status. Children are a particularly vulnerable group among the poor because their welfare hinges on the resources of their parents.
Maat 4 Afrika Inc., in collaboration with A-Z Quality Health Foundation joined together and presented an event titled, “Clothe a Child & Change a Life.” Clothing was distributed to children in schools and villages. The event was very uplifting and brought smiles and admiration from Chiefs, children and adults alike. We would like to continue on this endeavor, but we need your help!!! Please help us by donating to our cause. We are soliciting items such as; Clothing, Shoes, Computers (Desktops/Laptop), Printers, School supplies (pens, pencils, notebooks, notebook paper,
pencil sharpeners backpacks, etc.), Monetary donations are also welcomed.

MAAT 4 AFRIKA INC. ASSIST IN FIGHTING HUNGER IN HARLEM
While many of us enjoy the pleasures of dining out, there are millions of people, especially children, in America and around the World that don’t get enough to eat. Since the great depression, there are more than 50,000 people right now who are homeless. Major Bill de Blasio has announced a long-term $41 billion plan to preserve existing affordable housing
and build new units in the year to come. The best way to end hunger is to get involved
locally, donate and/or volunteer. You can support NYC’s homeless and hungry right now by
donating and/or volunteering to help organizations such as, Maat 4 Afrika Inc. to serve food
in the Harlem community. Our meal consists of a homemade vegetable soup, bread, fruit
and water. For more information please visit us at: www.maat4afrikainc.com.
Email: maat4afrikainc@gmail.com You can also volunteer with other organizations such as:
Meals on Wheels
Freedom from Hunger
Food Bank for New York City
Coalition for the Homeless

EBOLA INFORMATION ACCORDING TO THE CDC
What is Ebola?
Ebola is a rare and deadly disease. The disease is caused by infection with one of the Ebola viruses (Ebola, Sudan, Bundibugyo, or Taï Forest virus). It is spread by direct contact (through broken skin or mucous membranes) with a sick person’s blood or body fluids (urine, saliva, sweat, feces, vomit,
and semen). It is also spread by direct contact with objects (such as needles) that have been contaminated with infected body fluids or infected animals. Symptoms of Ebola include fever,severe headache, muscle pain, vomiting, diarrhea,
stomach pain, and unexplained bleeding or bruising. Who is at risk?
Travelers could be infected if they come into contact with blood or body fluids from someone who is sick or has died from Ebola. People also can become sick with Ebola if they come into contact with infected wildlife or raw or undercooked meat (bush meat) from an infected animal. Health care workers and the family and friends in close contact with Ebola patients are at risk of getting sick
because they may come in contact with infected blood or body fluids.
What can travelers do to prevent Ebola? There is no vaccine or specific treatment for Ebola, and
many people who get the disease die. Therefore, it is important to take steps to prevent Ebola.
• Avoid nonessential travel to Liberia, Guinea, and Sierra Leone.
• If you must travel, please make sure to do the following:
o Before your trip check your health insurance plan and
benefits to learn what is covered in the event that you
become ill. CDC recommends that anyone traveling to
countries where outbreaks of Ebola are occurring have
full coverage, including coverage for emergency medical
evacuation.
• Information about medical evacuation services can
be found on the US Department of State’s Air
Ambulance/Medevac/Medical Escort Providers page.
• Some insurance providers are excluding medical
evacuation coverage for people who have Ebola.
Check with providers to ensure you have the
coverage you need.
• Be sure to check the coverage limits for evacuation
insurance. Also check to see if the policy covers
evacuation to the United States or to the nearest
location where adequate medical care is offered.
o Practice careful hygiene. For example, wash your hands
with soap and water or use an alcohol-based hand
sanitizer
o Avoid contact with blood and body fluids (such as urine,
saliva, sweat, feces, vomit, and semen).
o Do not handle items that may have come in contact with
an infected person’s blood or body fluids.
o Avoid direct contact with the body of someone who has
died from Ebola, including participating in funeral or burial
rituals.
o Avoid contact with animals (such as bats or monkeys) or
with raw or undercooked meat.
o Do not eat or handle bush meat (wild animals hunted for food).
o Avoid hospitals in West Africa where Ebola patients are
being treated. The US Embassy or consulate is often able
to provide advice on facilities that are suitable for your
needs. The US Embassy Monrovia can be reached at +
(231) 77-677-7000.
o Seek medical care immediately if you develop fever
(100.4°F / 38°C or higher) or other symptoms such as
severe headache, muscle pain, vomiting, diarrhea,
stomach pain, or unexplained bleeding or bruising.
• Limit your contact with other people when you travel to
the doctor. Do not travel anywhere else.
Thousands of people have died in West Africa since the Ebola Outbreak. Your help is needed. To reach those in need of Aid Please DONATE what you can today to UNICEF: unicefusa.org/ebola
