Japan With The Cholera Problem In Zimbabwe

In December 2008 Japan donated 1.5 million US dollars (about 169.5 million yen) to Zimbabwe, so they can buy water purification chemicals and to carry out health education. This donation will help about 600, 000 people to survive and to net get Cholera over the next six months. Water purification chemicals will help people, because if they drink dirty water they will become infected with the bacterium Vibrio cholerae. Health education helps because people who do not know much about this epidemic will probably get the infection, but if they know they will be careful and will not become infected. In 1890 there was a Cholera outbreak in Japan. Japan has always had a bond with Zimbabwe, and on various occasions they have helped with food or money. Over all Japan is looking forward for giving more aids to Zimbabwe, so that the epidemic stops, and they can educate people, and buy the water purification chemicals.
