The Children

For every 100.000 births in Malawi, 808 mothers die of diseases such as HIV and malaria pregnancy during and childbirth.  The symptoms of malaria include fever, chills, headache and muscle pain. To get malaria you would have to get bitten by an infected mosquito which can lead to death. The  symbol for solidarity with HIV-positive people and those living with AIDS is a red ribbon

The Malawi people believe in Unity and freedom. You can see a little bit of the  motto in the background. The colours of the flag are red, black and green. I find this country interesting because of the top 10 cities of Malawi which are listed below the picture with the population.
