text: First of all everyone has the right to life, it's a fundamental human right.  Also everyone has the right to sex!!  Please, most Africans are not dying of AIDS and if we could get some more retroviral drugs, even the ones who have AIDS could live healthy lives (though not reproductive to my knowledge even with anothe HIV positive person).\n\nOk, I'd advice in areas of Malaria to use mosquito nets, they are cheap and effective against Malaria, the LARGEST killer in most African countries before HIV/AIDS.  In Ghana alone it kills about 40,000 persons per year, (population 20 million) mostly elderly and young children.  \n\nSecond secure clean drinking water, so try to spread easy water purification technologies (I don't know if these Brita water cleaning things we use in Europe are any good there), deep dug water boreholes (as surface water is muddy and can carry disease especially if it doesn't flow anywhere).  \n\nEating healthy is an issue, but I think African diets are generally healthy, at least what I've witnessed from West Africa they just eat too much palm oil, otherwise it's fine.  Addion iodine to salt is a major issue still, so buy better salt to avoid iodine deficiancy which causes strange bone growth.  Ethiopians also eat healthy when they don't have a hunger situation, my friend travelled there.  Eat lots of fruit, it's generally good.\n\nIn Ghana they use lots of tooth picks, made from a special local timber that also has enzymes or something to protect the teeth.  The birch tree in Europe is similar, so it's not uncommon that trees have something that protect the teeth.  In Finland they make chewing gum sweetener out of that, called xylitol and it's widely used, but basically the same thing can be achieved by using the tree as a toothpick.  That is a great idea, so keep dental health alive as well, use a toothpick after every meal if possible.\n\nFinally be concerned about maternal health issues, as childbirth is one of the most crucial steps in the life of a woman and of course a child.  I'm not an expert, but reducing infant mortality is important.
