Obstacles Toward Development

In this every day changing world, many of us are living in a comfortable home,
have enough food to eat, well clothed, healthy, and financially independent.
All these are provided to us because we are living in a well-developed country.
Others in the third world nation are not so lucky.  They may have no shelter,
limited food supply, and unemployed.  This is because their country is not well

rate is very high compared to the developed countries.  One reason that leads to
this is that they do not have the access to safe drinking water and health
service.  Clean drinking water is one of the major factors necessary to avoid
illness.  Water-borne diseases such as typhoid fever, cholera, and a wide array
of serious or fatal diarrheal diseases are responsible for more than 35% of the
deaths of young children Africa, Asia, and Latin America.  Most of these
diseases and resulting deaths can be eliminated with safe water supplies.  In
