Ways to help South Africa

Today after lunch, the grade 7s and 9s went up to the Language arts classroom to watch a movie to connect to community contributor. It was based on a woman called Yesterday, living in South Africa, with her daughter. She is from the Zulu tribe which is one of the most powerful tribes in South Africa. But she is very sick. She tries to go to the clinic everyday, but it's a two hour walk away and when she gets there, the doctor cannot see so many people. Soon when a friend helps her out to get a taxi to the clinic, she gets to see a doctor and she was diagnosed with HIV.

Another economic way to help the poor villages that I would include on the grant request would be to provide more clinics and hospitals that have enough space and enough doctors for patients to see. These can provide more jobs for people.
Also I would provide more free vehicles and people to drive them for people that need to get to places that are very far away. Maybe I could set up a "new" system that there's a place in every village that people can make calls for a cheap price.
School would be improved in villages for both children and adults who did not have a proper education. This can help adults to get more jobs.

If anyone has more ideas of how South Africa could get rid of poverty, please feel free to comment.
