Women, children and the elderly suffer most during tragedies

When calamities strike nations especially third World countries where there are no proper arrangements for the vulnerable groups, women, children and the aged face the sharpest axe. This is a result of their nature.

Today, as I write, hundreds of thousands of families countrywide are facing the hardest moments in their lives. In most of our communities here in Africa, women carry a huge burden of household responsibility; taking care of their children, husbands and the entire community whether in blissful or tough moments. They do menial jobs to make sure their families are well fed while meeting other family needs.
