Childhood friend of Malawi President Joyce Banda had to drop out of school

Chrissie's family couldn't pay for school, Banda says, so now she lives in poverty with kids

Banda calls for education, access to birth control to lift families out of poverty

I chose this topic becasue educating women and young girls can be beneficial. Joyce Banda is right by educating them it can help them get out of poverty, becasue Chrissie dropped out of school she ended up married with a tone of kids and is still living in the same place. Most of the people of Malawi live in poverty and are exposed to Malaria and Aids. Do you agree that all women should be knowledgable about health issues and birth control? Do you think knowledge will help with the decisons they make.

This is a great topic becasue we are facing this issue in our current elections, we want women to have the knowledge to be able to make the right decisions.
