Malawi is one of the countries in Africa which has a high level of people living with HIV/AIDS. The number of people catching the deadly disease is increasing everyday though Churches, NGOs, the government are living stone unturn on sensetising its citizen on the dangers of the pandemic. The Malawi government has a number of institution which are working hand in hand with the international organasations in helping distributing the life prolonging drugs ARVS. But the questions in many mind of is that, Is this ARVs are really helping us. Through different reserch houses and radios we hear that these drugs only available in towns and to those people who can afford the first class drugs. Here it means these drugs are there but they are of different strength according to how one can afford. People in the tipical village will not be able to aford the drugs simply because they can not aford to buy it. We hear here and there that some ARVS are being distributed on free of charge but those are last grade I can that because the first grade of the drug is so expensive that most of us the Africans who living a life of less than a dollar we can not aford. Now what is the way forward for this. Should we live our government in spending money for the political gain or sourcing these life prolonging drugs to help those people in the rural areas to have the first class or grade drugs rather than these low grade drugs where at the end the live these people with lots of side effects. Now its the time to force or greedy governments in africa to help their people for better medicines, schools, food, shelter extra. We are moving towards the 2015 the end of the MDGs. The governments promised us for the better things mentioned above, But not many are yet fufiled these promises instead we have seen lots of wars, hunger, poor water sanitation, Manutritional children, poor education standard and many many more in human activities. A local Malawian child is found here playing in a tipical village where there is no school near by or hospital these people realy live by the grace of God.
