10 Most Helpful Websites
MapReport- Africa's Famine Timeline
This site has multiple famines in many countries throughout the years. It also provides links to the corresponding news article. The whole site is a bit confusing to navigate, and does not look that contemporary, but the content is still very informative, and helped me to find different events.
BBC News- Africa's Famine: Country by Country
This site was very helpful in the fact that it provided direct testimonials of drought victims in different countries of Africa. The site as a whole has various content about Africa and different issues, so it was also helpful in that sense. It could have had more content of what the Africans had said because that was a little sparse, but overall the site had a lot of information.
USAID FWD- Crisis
This website is extremely informative and contemporary. It includes graphs, maps, bold colors and fonts, and it is easy to navigate. It has statistics and explains in some detail how they are helping over in Africa. It could've had a few more tabs and subjects because the website as a whole is a bit sparse, but it's very user friendly.
WFP- Hunger
This 'Hunger' tab provides numerous information upon statistics and definitions. They provide a list of every country in Africa that they've given aid to as well. The site as a whole is easy to navigate and provides many articles on their work and how they help.
Feed the Future- Countries
This site offers a map of the world that is interactive to the user, allowing you to see what countries they've helped, and providing further info about their statistics and mission in the event that you click it. The site as a whole is also very interactive, fun and informative. They could have had brighter colors to be more inviting but that still doesn't change the content.
USAID- Initiative to End Hunger to Africa
This page provided good information about the subject (IEHA), and wasn't too mush to read. There wasn't much info on this subject, so this page i relied on to provide most of my information. It's easy to read and was needed in my research.
Google- Advanced Search
Google's advanced search allows me to search within specific regions (such as Africa), and to include or not include different keywords. This makes it easier to filter through thousands of pages corresponding vaguely to my subject and find the ones I really want to read more easily. They could've had a bit more different choices for searching, but overall it was helpful.
CNN- Africa
CNN's 'World' section has a page just for Africa and its issues. This was very helpful in order to find new articles pertaining to Africans and different famines in Africa. They could've also benefited from having more testimonials directly from Africa's inhabitants, but it was still a good site to get information from.
UNICEF- Child survival
This site offered numerous info about children in Africa, and UNICEF's aim to prevent malnutrition. Also, the page includes what UNICEF's missions and goals are toward that subject. The entire site provides what they do to contribute in other life-threatening problems, including hunger. They could have had more info towards different famines and how they've helped in the past, but that didn't effect how extremely helpful their website was for my purpose.
Sodexo- Impact Report
I had been looking for a while to find more about this Sodexo Initiative, so I was quite happy when I found this. It includes their effects, how they've helped, where exactly they've distributed their donations, and what they plan to do in the future. It wasn't actually a web page, but a pdf file, and it was loaded with information.
