Human Rights Research Paper

In many locations, not just Africa, human rights are being violated. Some people are trying to help by contributing to the fight, but only so much can be done with limited man power.

Many churches scattered through America and Canada have been sending missionaries to places in dire need of fresh water to build wells. In some places in Africa even
