This project is solving the Food Directions challenge. Description
[HTML_REMOVED] World hunger is an universal problem and Africa is the most continent affected. Our challenge is to build an application to make complicated data and statistics, readable and fun for all people. In order to bring empathy to our cause and make general awareness for people who don't know what's happening in the other side of the planet, We've dug in every piece of statistics and ambiguous data , we learned how to give it an amazing graphic diagrams and interesting maps, then we had thoughts of developing a forum to make people around the world discuss with each other and try to find a way to solve their problems . [HTML_REMOVED] [HTML_REMOVED]In it's final form , This app gives the user the best experience to explore every African country information and show him simplified diagrams and maps with every basic information , more than that in the process to make the user empathizes with the hunger kids, we gave him chance to donate a symbolic amount of money via non-national organizations .
