WHO in Kenya

Looking over the WHO stats for Kenya I saw some good data and terrible data. First, I found it shocking that the life expectancy rate is 51 and 50 for women. This is scary because this means that I would live on average 25 years longer than these people which is simply unfair for me to live more than half of their lives longer. Although, there were some good stats on the amount in poverty and who are literate which are relative of course. This also scares me because I sometimes take for granite my education and the money my family has. Lastly, I hope that these numbers will get better as time passes but looking at the data it is only getting worse.
