The main problem in africa is aids and unwanted pregnancies that lead to large families they can't support. the sex education they get is ironing women's breast to make them sexually undesirable so no babies or the new thing where they just bitch about gay sex. maybe if they had better sex education it would be another step towards leaving poverty and crime, like in new york city when they gave out free abortions to poor families eventually they saw crime rates lower by a lot. does anyone know of any charities like this? xxx

Yes, there are many nonprofit organizations providing very frank, fact-based education regarding HIV/ AIDS transmission in Africa. The World Health Organization, UNFPA, UNV, and many international NGOs and local NGOs provide this information in countries across Africa, and many organizations hand out free condoms. You need to check your facts -- New York City has NEVER given out free abortions, and there is absolutely no correlation whatsoever between abortions and crime rates. Part of the problem in Africa is that, in many communities, the chance of a woman getting HIV/ AIDS goes up if she gets married, because it's considered normal and even healthy for a man to have sex outside of his marriage in many communities. Compounded with this is the Catholic Church saying that condoms cause AIDS (they do not) and telling married women that, even if their husband is sleeping around, asking them to use a condom is a sin. And then you have people like Jacob Zuma, the President of South Africa, saying he prevents AIDS by taking a shower after sex. Misinformation abounds, from prominent leaders, so it becomes hard for NGOs to counter that.
