Djibouti Needs Our Help





Djibouti needs major countries such as the U.S. to help feed and employ its people in return for the nation's hospitality. Most of the country's young males do not have jobs and are waiting to be employed by the U.S. military. About half of the population only earns $2 a day, giving them a weekly income of a mere 14 dollars! One third of Djibouti's children are suffering from chronic or acute malnutrition.
