As an urban country in southeastern Africa, Malawi deals with major poverty issues; as a poverished country, Malawi struggles for survival and sustainability. (6- compound sentence using a semicolon)

Due to the high amount of poverty; both rural and urban areas, the country’s population stands at a staggering 16,320,000 people. (7- super comma)

 With this large population it is in fact still growing and drowning in poverty. This country lacks basic water needs and services to provide proper sanitation for everyone in the community, leading to huge problems for the population.

BECAUSE it takes money to develop facilities to regulate water control, being a very poverished country, Malawi struggles with that challenge as well. (Start a sentence with a “because”)

When they already lack basic water needs and a drought hits, there is an impeccable chance that Malawians receive the water they need to maintain to stay healthy. It is hard to sustain healthy water wells BECAUSE there are not proper climate patterns. (End a sentence with a “because” clause)

Proper climate patterns aren’t holding this poverished country back; proper money funds are. (5)

Without access to safe drinking water, disease, infection, and death occur among the population. Considering if the people are drinking unsafe water, but water in general, they can still die of disease and infections. I feel like this is a huge challenge because it is flourishing the community and water is what sustains it. In the mean time, THOUGH the Government of Malawi is coming up with ways to try and figure out how to sanitize and access clean water for this community, they want to prioritize and set goals but it is hard without money.  (Use, though, to interrupt a main sentence)
